I'm in the process of trying to figure out if I could pull a fifth wheel. I'm seeing conflicting information on what my truck's payload is. When I look at the sticker on the door post, it tells me I should never exceed 1550 lbs for combined weight of occupants and cargo. I found a GM site (http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2013/May/Silverado-May-5/0505-silv-specs.html#crew) that says the payload for my truck is 1883 lbs. And when using a VIN decoder (https://chevroletforum.com/forum/vindecoder.php?vin=3GCUKREC9EG143454) I don't see payload, but it does say the front and rear gross axle weight rating is 3950 lbs/each. As well, that site says I can pull a fifth wheel that weighs 9500 lbs with hitch weight of 2375 lbs. The Chevy towing guide for my truck also states I could pull a 9500 lbs fifth wheel, though it doesn't mention payload.
What am I to believe?
