I , although not totally new to trailering,do have similar questions as the OP. AND, I really do appreciate all the information I am reading here, and yes, especially the info that's got some people seemingly fuming on here, posted by ah64id . Whether you agree or disagree with his posts, it truly sounds like words from someone that has some valuable knowledge on the subject. I just today sent a question to a GM salesman asking what the difference in the package of a same engine/tranny GM 2500 truck vs. GM3500 truck (new truck, 2014 or 2015) that makes one better than the other. I specifically asked about 2500 and 3500 SRW only. Here is his response.... " Great..I can send you over some New 2500 SRW...I am not sure on the available 3500 SRW...most are duallys that we get.
the 2014 models are great deals because the 2015 are the NEW body styles, so if you are looking for a deal, the 2014 is the way to go.
I will find out with the 6.0L gas motor the capabilities....I do not believe that you can Tow 12,000+ lbs. but I could be wrong....I know in those size vehicles that you can get a 6 1/2 foot box OR an 8 foot box in both an Ext cab or a Crew cab....the 1500 is the only unit limited in box length when you get an ext cab vs. a crew cab. so you let me know if you want a standard box or a long box and I can see what is available in your preferred set-up."
SO, to make a long story a little less longer, the info I am getting here is far superior to any info I've gotten from a dealer nearby me thus far. He didn't even come close to answering what I asked him. At least ah64id comes right out and says what he knows, not beating around the bush!
