I think your weak point would be the factory GM hitch. They are not that beefy, atleast my 09 dually wasn't. I got great advice from another forum member warning me that his GM factory hitch welds were starting to fail when he luckily caught it before it got any worse. Thats what convinced me to atleast go to a Reese Titan hitch. When I removed the factory hitch I laid it beside the Titan and there was a very big difference in how much better built the Titan hitch was made compared to the factory hitch. It always amazed my how these truck companies advertise their trucks pulling these massive loads on the TV commercials, when in reality they are sticking on these inferior built hitches just to save some money. No question the truck will pull what its rated for, but not sure it will pull those heavy hauls safely with the factory mounted hitch. Just something to think about.
