My 2013 2500HD GMC weighed 7200 with full tank and me. My fifth wheel max weight was 11200 lbs putting 2200 lbs in the bed for pin weight. My GVWR was 9500 leaving me exactly 100 lbs for the misses and anything else. The dealer did not understand that...their only concern was max towing capacity.
I just switched to a SWR 3500 long bed.... took a small bath on the trade but better to be safe than sorry.
Wow, 11,000# GVWR fiver too much for a new 2500!
Well I do very well with a 2001 2500 and a 12,360# GVWR 5er. Yes over the sticker GVWR of the TV, but well under the axle ratings!
I feel so relaxed towing this 5er it is great.
