I have basically the same truck, but 4x2.
The 1500HD quadrasteer is not well understood, it was designed for trailering and carrying. The rear wheel track is 5 inches or so wider than the standard truck and has load-adjustable rear shocks.

p.s. My scale weight with 2 people and loaded for long-distance travel is 8550 lbs.
