Towing with a 2015 Chevy 2500HD Duramax
I'm looking at purchasing a new fifth wheel and I am getting a wide array advice on how much trailer I can tow. According to my owners manual my truck has a fifth wheel trailer weight rating of 17900...

Bags or timbrens will eliminate the weight carrying capacity of your truck vs an equivalent 3500, provided your wheels and tires are also rated the same. I think I'd personally limit a SRW truck to the 16k lb neighborhood although some tow more without issues. What you load in the trailer is certainly relevant as well. Most here assume you'll be at full gross weight but that's overly conservative for some. Just depends on how you load it up.
