What is towing capacity for 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD for 5th?
I looked up the towing capacity of your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a Duramax diesel and it looks to have a 13,000 lb towing capacity like you mentioned. If the trailers you are considering will weigh less than that when loaded and ready to tow you’d be fine, but you can’t exceed this number safely.
What kind of trailer does a GMC Sierra 3500 need?
Requires Sierra 3500 HD Regular Cab Long Bed 2WD DRW with available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8, Max Trailering Package and gooseneck hitch. Before you buy a vehicle or use it for trailering, carefully review the Trailering section of the Owner’s Manual.

Sierra’s 12,500-lb rating requires Sierra Double Cab or Crew Cab Short box 2wd with 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 engine and NHT Max Trailering Package.

What kind of Hitch do I need for a GMC Sierra?
The length of the trailer is not quite as important as it’s really the weight that’s the issue. The Reese 20k hitch part # RP30081 that you referenced would be a great choice for a hitch though. This hitch will have more than enough capacity and has a great jaw design that will provide a solid connection that will minimize noise.

What is the towing capacity of a Duramax 2500HD?
As a matter of fact, there is NO mention of the gross vehicle weight in the entire diesel supplemental manual. Subtracting the listed towing capacity (13,600) from the GCWR (22000) gives an odd number of 8400 lbs which corresponds to nothing.
What’s the problem with a Duramax 2500HD 5th Wheel?
The problem with 3/4 tons and 5th wheels is their lack of ability to carry the pin weight and remain within specs. Check the Tire and Information Loading sticker on the left rear door pillar…it will list the cargo capacity for that vehicle. Pin weight is an issue, no doubt, even on the 3500 HD. Click to expand…
Is the Duramax 3500 SRW the same as the 2500?
Despite what is written between the gas and diesel books, the DRW 3500 has significant bit more spring in the rear from the 3500 SRW and 2500. …so the trailer just “swung out to the right” all by itself, for no reason and with no provocation ?
