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...

Look at your driver's side door jam "sticker" which has the VIN, RAWR, FAWR, and the GVWR annotated on it. This is your truck's legal GVWR--regardless what the literature or your dealer says.
Nope. Your legal GVWR is either your paid registration or the combined tire weight rating... whichever is lower. Those warranty numbers on the sticker don't have anything to do with legality.
X2, and without a doubt the stock tires on the 2500HD will be loaded beyond their rating. I wouldn't worry about all the literature confusion, what GM says doesn't matter at this point. Depending on actual weights, switching to tires and wheels for a SRW 3500 might just squeak by, but even more is probably required. Either dually or 19.5 inch tires/wheels. Those are realistically the MINIMUM choices.
