The big change with GM trucks came in 2011.
My weights with my 5th wheel are,
2011 Chev 3500HD Dmax CC standard box SRW LTZ 4X4
Empty weight with me, 1/2 tank fuel, toolbox with 100lbs "stuff" is 8020lbs.
With 5th wheel hooked up, full tank fuel and me and Terry,
Front axle 4825lbs
Rear axle 6410lbs
Trailer axles 12150lbs.
Pin weight 2850lbs.
These are BC certified weigh scale numbers.
Our 5th wheel is on the heavier side, and we are close to the trucks GVWR of 11500lbs, but with the new frame, suspension and brakes on the 2011 up GM trucks, this one tows our 5th wheel better than the 2006 dually GM Dmax we had before.
