Truck

Sheesh. Yes, it'll haul it just fine. That sticker isn't any kind of legal limit.
The frame is the same one as a 3500, it's not going to bend. The axle isn't going to break, it's the same as in the 3500.
It's got the same brakes as a 3500. There are those that live by the factory-stock textbook, and there are those who actually look at what the truck is.
Add some springs, LIKE THE FACTORY DID on the heavier rated ones, or use bags, make sure you have tires rated for the weight, put on a sway bar, and go camp.
You do not have to go buy a 2018 F550.

Thank you

I have been hauling 4300lb on F250 flatbed, but it was gravel on short distance.
I always had a shovel with me and pushed most of the gravel behind the cabin.
If you can move most of the TC behind the cabin, you'll be fine as well although even then the ride is just OK.

OMG!!! You are going to load a heavy camper and crash into a busload of orphans. No.

Burningman has is right. BTW- proof is below.



Looks like an accident just waiting for that bus, huh?

So my GVRW is 9200, curb weight is 5090. It is a 2001 Silverado HD with 6.6 Duramax. Am 8 correct that I can haul a camper up to about 4000 LBS.

you don't mention which cab you have but 5090# is not realistic My 03 xcab , Dmax , is right at 7000# ' empty with me in it . The difference between the 9900GVW 3500 , is rear spring pack and tires and wheels .

That looks like 8-6" camper that has COG in front of rear axle.
Those don't weight much above 2000lb, yet you need blocks under rear wheels for leveling.
Far away from 4000 lb we are discussing here.

"Those don't weigh much above 2000lb" Ha Ha I wish!

Uh- WRONG. That's our TC and I have the CAT scale slip.

Try nearly doubling your guess.

x2, pretty much. But 5090 lbs has to be way too low, and be certain about tires (and wheels).
btw, my 06 D/A x-cab, short bed actually weighs a little over 7000 lbs. Total weight with fully loaded camper is just shy of 10,000 lbs.

The answer to your question "can I haul it" is no way. I have basically the same truck with the 6.0 engine which is 800lb lighter than yours. In order to haul a Wolf Creek 816 which weighted 3000 lb loaded I upgraded the shock to heavy duty camper shocks, installed Stableloads, installed Timbrems, and changed to a heavier tire. You could haul something like a 1500 lb camper maybe!

Exactly. (and the very things that I upgraded)
