Need Guidance PLEASE!
I currently own a 2016 Silverado HD Duramax... The Tow Rating, GVWR is so conflicted in all of the literature even so that the dealer couldn't give me the exact specs. I just purchased a 5th wheel wit...

Good day everyone - Let me first say I appreciate the responses. I've been trying to do my due diligence and purchased the Trailer based off of what the VIN Pulled and showed at dealership.
With a cargo capacity of around 2400 and a max GVWR of 21,500 I think you need to go back to math school. At 25% pin wt. a 15.7K 5er before you add any cargo to it will have a pin wt of close to 4,000lbs almost a TON MORE THAN your cargo wt. capacity and your truck I bet weighs by itself around 7K so at 15.7K dry you're again way over your 21.5K GCWR once cargo is added more than a TON
Here is where the confusion comes in.
The Sticker that you'd think would be on the door jam is not informative. Only shows tire pressures.
Then you're not looking at the FMVSS sticker which will also show GVWR and GAWRs for each axle and that is a requirement and you will have.
I would be amazed if you have exceed every single wt. especially tires, and suspension not to mention GVWR and GCWR. If you continue I would classify you as an accident just waiting to happen.
