2014 silverado 3500 6.0 question
I'm looking at the 2014 silverado 3500 srw with the 6.0 gas engine. Those who own this truck, what tongue weight is your hitch rated to? I have found the towing capacity and payload specs online but...

Thanks. I am burnt out on Ford after all the recent issues I've had with my 6.4. I have begun considering the dodge Hemi and Cummins but not a big fan of the body style (I can get past that if need be though). The dog on hills is what I was afraid of after test driving the silverado 6.0. Dmax or Cummins may be necessary now I just have to do this and leave some money to still go camping. The tradesman Cummins can be found for low 40's around here which is similar to what 6.0 Silverado LT would run me, so it might work out.
In Dec. I purchased a SRW 3500 LT D/A CCSB 2wd for $41k. I wouldn't be happy spending that much money and only having the 6.0 gasser for towing. IMO a base model diesel would be better.
TW should be limited by the receiver hitch and not the truck and mine came equipped with a 2.5 inch receiver that was plenty beefy. But sold it when I swapped out the stock bed, and can't recall what was stamped on it. Even if the 3500 gasser comes with just a 2 inch receiver, swapping it out for the 2.5 inch wouldn't be that difficult.
