We just purchased a 3/4 ton 2015 Chevy Silverado to pull our 36 foot fifth wheel. Has anyone had experience towing with this vehicle?
We need to know all that stuff before commenting.
What is the fiver? What is its dry weight and GVWR? What is the pin weight?
How much stuff (people, pets, things etc) are you putting in the truck?
Unless you got the 10,000# GVWR option I suspect that 36 footer will seriously overload that new truck!!
Not even sure the higher GVWR (vs the standard 9500#) will be enough.
Too late now but the 3500 SRW would have got you a lot more payload.
