Our 2017 Mammoth weighs 5777 with EMPTY tanks. Available payload on 2016 GMC Denali 3500 HD Dually is only 4735 (payload plus occupants, etc.). GAWR Rear is 9375 ... loaded with empty tanks I am at 9680. I have upper and lower stableloads and firestone airbags which NEARLY level the load. A sway bar might help, though sway isn't the worst part; shocks will help, but I feel like I am shoveling money down a sink hole. The sag/launch over crappy expansion joints gets old (to all highway low bidders/purchasing agents/designers/constructors: Good enough ISN'T).
Had I purchased a 3500 Dually WITHOUT diesel, 4WD, crew cab, (and a radio), I MIGHT have the capacity for my TC.
I am considering 5500 C/C, while looking at more spring for the 3500, but I'd hate for something to break on the way to Alaska or even western US.
Research the suspension on C/C.
I had 2006 F350 C/C and visually it had stronger suspension than F450.
They also come with longer wheelbase, what helps with COG, but having different frame, they don't come with bed option. At least they didn't in the past.
Bad part - they make real teeth grinder when empty.
