Had a 2015 Max tow GMC 1500 If memory serves me wright it had 4300 lb. rear axle and around 1800 payload . I think the standard rear axle is 3850 lbs. I had a 28 foot Keystone bullet that was right around 6500 lbs. Truck handled it fine but you could never drive with one hand . Trailer didn’t sway but truck was constantly moving around probably because it had 20 inch P rated tires . I don’t get it you buy max tow / max payload and they give you P rated tires shame on GM . Kept it two years and got a 2017 GMC 2500 HD problem solved

That’s a nice excuse to convince the wifey you need a Duramax Denali, but you and I both know that the tire store coulda fixed that problem for less than $1000. Or you could just air them XLs up to 50+ psi in the rear and solved most of your “issue” for free!

The tires that came on my 2015 NHT max payload with 6.2 and a eight speed were those wide 20 inch tires P series I had them aired up to the max to no advail . At that time you couldn’t buy a LT tire in that size. So it would have required a rim change also.
We’re not your local traveler we’re you can get buy with what you have.
Two trips out west first to Oregon 7200 miles
Another to Black Hills , Devils Tower ect 4500 plus miles . There’s a reason you don’t see half tons out West . The wind is always blowing hard and the grades are long and steep. Buy the correct product for the the Job and enjoy the ride
