1500 vs 2500
The trailer we are looking at weighs #5595 according to Grand Design, with a hitch weight of #505. We will get a new tow vehicle to handle this weight, I am considering 1500 Eco Diesel, 1500 Hemi ...

I went thru the same dilemma and finally settled on a 2014 Chev 1500HD. Rated to 11,500lbs.
I tow a 31ft Jayco Eagle that weights in at 10,500 with no issues. Towed to Fl. return 3 times so far. No control issues, 11 mpg. Cruise at 60 mph.
I thought Chevy quit making those during the last generation. I had an 02 model with the 6.0 and it was labeled as 1500HD with 8 lugs. But side by side with a standard 2500 it was exactly the same. Now next to the 2500HD no it was not. So they still make those and designate them as 1500HD? Btw the old ones had an 8600GVWR just like the 2500'non HD. What is your GVWR then? Just curios thanks
