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...

Open your truck drivers door.....tire data sticker YELLOW
What is listed as you trucks PAYLOAD? (3000# or less????)
Now look at other sticker which lists axle and GVWR
RAWR...6200#
GVWR..10000#
My 2007 3500 QC LB Diesel has similar ratings.
I tow a 14K 5th wheel *Scaled at 13,873#
I am over trucks GVWR of 10,100#
I have a wet pin wet of almost 3000# (scaled 2980#)
I am right at RAWR 6200#
And truck has a 'tow rating of 16,600# (2700# MOVE than what can actually be done)
You need to look at/consider trailers that have 14K GVWR or less
