Not sure where these numbers are coming from. The trailer you're looking at will be a walk in the park for an 05 2500.
The 2005 2500 is a beast (moreso than the one in my sig LOL). According to Trailer Life, the tow rating of that year 2500 is 9700 lbs. Rear axle rating is 5500 (limiting factor being the tires, not the axle). Payload is 2000+.
I don't think a 3.23 axle was even offered in the 2500. It's either 3.73 or 4.10, with a 6.0 or 8.1. Any of those combinations will easily handle that trailer.
Check the glove box codes -
GT4 - 3.73
GT5 - 4.10
G80 - locker (nice additional option)
1000-lb tongue weight? No problem.
7600-lb trailer GVWR? No problem.
Buy that Burb and sleep well. You'll have a hell of a tow vehicle.
That's great info thanks, I have asked these questions and am now waiting for a reply.
How much would you pay for something like this?
