Looks like it can do what Chevy said it could loaded up to the max. 2500HD Super Ike

The forum regular trollers will be here in a bit but the test was no surprise for just 12k lbs. GM/Ram or Ford new 250/2500 diesel powered trucks will have no problems with towing a 12k lb any type of trailer.

Towing like that, NO height or wind issues is no challenge for the GM HD with that weight.Try it will a 10,000 lb 5'er in a crosswind - that's a real test.

Any one of the big three 250/2500's would look this good! :S

rhagfo,If you could read and comprehend, the article clearly states it's a 2016 2500HD 6.6L LML Duramax that has 397 HP and 765 torque in a 10,000 GVWR Class 2 truck pulling a trailer scale weighed at 12,700 lbs. Absolutely not one word about it being a 3500HD truck like you claim. Just so sickening and normal to have a Dodge/Ram owner making false claims since their brand of truck lacks in true at the rear wheels delivered torque and HP and the truck's towing ability which really does and has separated the men from the boys in all the towing ability tests for so many years now. Real/actual delivered torque and HP at the rear wheels is where it's at and what counts not a stripped bare basic engine sitting on a test buck for sales brochure etc claiming higher HP and torque. If it had the delivered torque and HP that is claimed, it actually would show in the real world of the many independent testing and competitions that have been done. Must be the Dodge/Ram owners way to make them feel better about their fuel guzzling slow pulling over rated trucks and engines!
