NEVER say 2500hd on this forum. It is akin to near beer for many here. Reality is your truck is one leaf spring from a 3500. Air bags accomplish the same with ride quality and squat adjustment. Having said that I would only go about 13k gvwr with that. Above would be a dually for lateral stability.
There is NOTHING wrong with towing using a 2500 or even 1500......provided one stays within the trucks ratings.
Particularly the trucks RAWR, rear tires load rating and payload capacity
Tow ratings are inflated numbers......axle, tire & payload numbers are typically reached long before that magical tow rating number especially when it's a 5vr
