FWIW I've had two 2500HD cc/4x4/sb GM trucks, an 04.5 and a 2015.5 With both I tow a 32ft TT, 9K lbs and reese sway control. Never have I had any stability issues towing these trailers, including many trips up and down the columbia river gorge with wind gust to 50mph or so.
IIRC the extended cab has a shorter wheelbase than the CC, so that may impact stability. But a hitch not set up optimally can also have a dramatic effect on stability. And for a trailer as long as the OP mentioned, IMHO you need something that doesn't use the accy friction control for sway. Dual cam, equalizer propride/hensley.
Thanks for your input.
If I understand you correctly you feel I’ll be ok with my current Reese Strait Line WDH and the specs on the newer truck? I agree setup makes all the difference in a hitch, my current setup (done by the dealer) might even be wrong and I might get another option from another service center that’s local and only does service not sales. Might be worth my money to ask.
Thanks again
