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...

my 2015.5 denali 4x4 CC short box has a cargo capacity of 2600lbs. Me thinks that it wouldn't be hard with a few people in the truck, hitch, and a few other things, that you would be over the 10,000lb GVWR for the truck.
Heck, towing my 10,000 travel trailer, with 1400lbs tongue weight and either DW and grandkids along with firewood etc. in the bed, or myself with dirt bike and riding stuff in the bed, I'm pushing right at or slightly over the 10,000lbs.
Now, the 10,000lb GVWR is determined by the max GVWR for that class of truck, so there is likely some margin.
