Sorrry about leaving out information, truck is 2500 diesel, 3/4 ton, 2 wheels in rear not 4
6 ft box, 4x4
Check out pg 12 in LINK.....
2006 2500 5.9L QC SB Laramie 3:73
GVWR 9000#
Payload 2100#
RAWR 6010# (****THIS will be your limiting factor)
Max Tow 12,950#
12,000# 5th wheel will put you OVER trucks GVWR and Payload Capacity
BUT Rear Axle SHOULD have enough to 'carry' WET pin weight of 2400+
Load truck up 'camp ready' (ALL passengers, stuff in cab etc) and go get truck weighed
Actual rear axle weight vs RAWR is amount of pin weight you can add before EXCEEDING RAWR.
