Looking to purchase the above truck 2011 silverado 2500 ext cab LT diesel. Payload 3200# towing capacity 17,000#. I am wanting to pull a 28'-34' 5th wheel. Just guessing weights around 12-14K will I have enough truck? Anyone towing with the 2011 2500 ? This will replace the low towing capacity of my 2011 ram with the 5.7 hemi and 3.73. Thank you for any input you have to offer.

Length of a trailer now days is meaning less. Some 34' 5th wheel trailers with 4 slides will overload the trucks RAWR/tire load ratings.
But ...some 34' 5th wheel trailers will fit just fine the 2500 truck your looking at.
I would stick with a 12k-13k 5th wheel trailer for that 2500 GM truck.
