I think I have gotten legal. Just took delivery of a 2022 3500 CC SRW Duramax to replace my 2002 2500. 3927 useful on the door. Pin weight on the 5th wheel at 16,000 is approximately 3,200. Rear axle is rated at 7,500 with the 20" tires. Weighed the rear at Monticello, Ut. Port of Entry at 3460. Truck with me, fuel, tools and "Herbie the wonder dog" is 8,400. GVWR of the truck is 12,100. Total 5th Wheel tow rating is 29,700, 5th wheel GVWR is 16,500 max and I usually travel with minimum water.
Haven't pulled with it yet, but it definitely has more power and handles better. I was surprised to find that the turning radius was better than the 2002 even though it is 6" longer.
