2012 Silverado 2500 CC Std Bed Duramax 4WD
Hi All, Looking at a tow vehicle and considering this 2012. Hoping some of you have this truck or similar and can give me your opinion. Been a good tow vehicle for you? Also, what are you pulling...

Yeah, noticing the Silverado 2500 and 3500 isn't much different. Rear spring is different changing payload rating? Pulling specs from VIN says 15,800 max fifth wheel/4175 hitch weight. Seems contradictory to their published GVWR. Guessing my camper could be closer to 13,500 loaded with a pin weight of 2500 - 3000. So looking at GVWR the truck doesn't have the payload capacity. If you do the math on weight of the truck compared to axle ratings, plenty of payload. And well within the rating for fifth wheel towing. Crazy. Still think this truck would handle it fine.
