One of the reasons I traded a 2005 3500HD for a 2011 3500HD - GVWR of 11,600 Vs 9900 lbs.
I had my 2005 overloaded - pulled without any problems but towing with the 2011 is allot more stable. The 2011 weights probably 500 lbs more than the 2005. Added air bags and Bilstein shocks to both of the trucks
My last CAT scale:
Steer Axle - 4900 lbs
Drive Axle - 6060 lbs
Trailer Axle - 9220 lbs
Gross Weight - 20,180 lbs
