New 3/4 CC Dmax payload cap terrible!
I'm researching tow vehicles, and I discovered that when a 2014 Silverado 2500 HD is configured w/Diesel, Crew Cab 4x4 and Long Bed, the payload capacity drops to a pitiful 2552 lbs. Which basical...

Oh, you do realize those max tow ratings are with a single 150 lb driver, NO options, and just the trailer!
You also have your comments about perrysbury wrong. very wrong!
The fact remains as noted my many tow ratings mean squat in the real world! hence why some of us have our popcorn and beer out! Tow ratings are also not safety numbers, only a warranty/performance rating. All your insurance carrier will care about, is are you under legal ratings. Even your door tag numbers are NOT real rating numbers the LEO's on the side of the road worry about. Now look at those comments, and it is really time to get out the popcorn and beer!
Buy yourself a dually or the SW 3500, and be done with it. Your kid will be over 50 lbs, probably about 60 in a year, 70 the following.....add some air per say to your figures, and real world, the truck is probably limited to 8-8500 lbs in 5w form. At least you do not have a family of 6 that comes in at 1200-1300 lbs.........One needed a SW 3500 to pull a 6500 lbs ball mount and even then, I could not stay under the door placard gvwr, but I was under axel wt ratings, and the paid for gvw of the truck.
