Our 04 Chevy Duramax, CC, 4X4 long bed dually equiped with camper package says cargo limit is 3300#. That being said, it's been a work truck hauling full pallets of cement, cubes of blocks, pallets of rocks and stacked to the gills with 60#+ bales of hay all handled with no problems. After 11 years it's now actually carrying a camper. Fully loaded with fuel, water, gear and us it just sits on the overload stoppers that were factory, doesn't sag, sway or bounce. Unloaded is like riding in a buckboard old timey wagon. LOL We've not needed to install anything aftermarket for suspension and still run original size tires and wheels with no problems so far. Since getting the camper last summer we've logged over 8,000 miles without problems. Maybe we just got lucky on a great truck when we bought it or the Gods are liking us. ....a lot, but so far we're good. My husband has always loved this truck for the smooth tracking down the highway with minimal steering adjustments. It just goes along straight and true. We're blessed. Happy husband, happy camping.
