Call me crazy? Did GMC do a correction on their rating for the Duramax? After we purchased our Duramax almost a year ago we were looking to see what type of we could tow. Once we started looking at fifth wheel I then looked up the towing guide. The guide (back then) stated that the allowed weight for a 5th wheel was in the 13,800 range. I was so upset because the salesman told us that it could tow a lot more . I even brought in the printout from the 2016 trailering guide. He was stunned. I had even checked the 2015 guide to make sure that there wasn't a glitch in the numbers. He went to his head mechanic and got back to us to tell us that something was wrong with that number and we could tow at least 16,000. So when I saw this thread I decided to see what was the chatter was about. And for giggles I open up the 2015 guide and it states 17,000. Then I went to check on the 16 guide yep it was also up to 17,000. So someone must have made a ( 4,000 lb) mistake and enough people were questioning that number to get the correction numbers plugged in. Now I dare anyone to tell me that I my 5th wheel is over the capacity of my truck.

Looks like it's rated for 13,500. Payload issue I suspect.

2015 model year ratings is not based on being SAE J2807 compliant, starting for the 2016 model year, GM based their ratings off of being compliant with the industry standard. This is the reason for the lower rating number.
