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...

TACO: You're right.
Perrysburg: I'm fairly sure that what you mean by your comment is that XX is going to come on here and say blah blah those specs are garbage. I tow my monster 5th wheel with an older truck, with lower ratings. Everything is fine. Tow the 15k'er with the 3/4.
I value my belongings. If I get into an accident, I don't want my insurance to kick me to the curb. I don't want to risk getting fined. I don't want my family or anyone else on the road to get hurt. I don't want to pay someone for the rest of my life because of improper towing.
To the naysayers, to those that say these numbers are baloney, how can you argue against them successfully in a court of law? If a lawyer ran the numbers, they would have you by the balls.
By the way, I'm military and move every 2-4 years. Home is NH. Just moved to CA from FL. So, I drive ALOT. 5'er is the only way for me. I'm not pulling a travel trailer for 3000mi, even with a WD hitch.
