We just bought a similar truck. Took it to the dump yesterday. Coming out empty it weighed 8220 lbs with me aboard. So doing some math it appears that it can handle 3600-3700 pin weight.
BTW we love ours. Drove it 1400 miles home from dealer in colorado. Chris
Nice looking truck. I ended up trading in a rather good looking white and gold 2500 for this one which is a rather bland black although the metal flakes do really shine in the sun. With the extra incentives of the buyback for the old one, end of model year etc. I ended up with a pretty good deal and now have the power folding mirrors, which come in handy getting into the garage, and sunroof which I didn't really need, the factory airbags in the back, and fifth wheel setup. The nav unit is also a lot nicer than the old one and is even somewhat usable with voice commands whereas the old one never got it right, and the backup camera is much better as well. Being a dark color however it now looks like I need to join the snowbirds and head north for the summers, and south for the winter. I have to take it back on Tuesday to get the bedliner sprayed in and the step bars installed. For our running around yesterday I had to carry around a step for the wife and help her get in and out. I never realized till I tried one without just how much you need those steps.
I seriously debated a dually longbed but I hated the last dually I owned and swore never again. The SRW four door units are already very limiting due to bulk especially in the cities where the parking seems to get tighter every year. Seems many parking lots have slots so narrow you're over the white lines on both sides, and we won't even discuss trying to back in or out.
