As we all know, it depends on what is loaded in the truck. I know our 2500HD CCSB 4x4 gasser weighed 8180lbs truck only. Granted, that was with maybe 400lbs of firewood, and we have a cab high 'glass topper which is easily another 200-250lbs. That was with about a 2/3 full tank. Family wise (4) we weigh under 500lbs (probably around 450lbs, just not sure the exact weight that our 11yo twin boys are weighing in at "today")
According to GM's weight calculator, a 2013 2500HD CCSB 4x4 with the 6.0l and LT trim weighs 6610.3 lbs. So you may have a bigger load than you have accounted for, by about 600-700 lbs.

You are correct, sorry. It is the dry weight. I can't imagine we would ever put 2500 lbs worth of stuff in our trailer either but we were being extra cautious!
Trailer dry weight 8400#
Carry capacity 2595#
10,995# trailer max weight.
Figure 20% wet pin weight......2200#
Your 2500 will tow that 5vr just fine.
Good combo.

Wow.
The OP stated his/her truck weighs 8000 lbs loaded.
The OP stated his/her GVWR is 9500 lbs.
Simple math: 1500 lbs for pin weight and hitch.
You are right, but that 8k lbs may have included the TT tongue weight. No way a gas 3/4 ton loaded but without hitch weight would hit 8k. My previous '03 2500 with the diesel plus a utility bed and a 42 gal Transfer Flow fuel tank didn't weigh 8k lbs. Heck, even my present 1 ton diesel with the same utility bed doesn't weigh 8k lbs ready to roll.

We have not weighed the truck with the Fifth Wheel, but last time we weighed just the truck with a driver, 2 dogs and a full tank of gas it was about 8000 lbs.
