What can a Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD (Duramax) ('11-19) actually tow?

rated 18,100 lbpickup bed

The rating is the easy half of the answer. A trailer never weighs its brochure dry weight — water is 8.34 lb a gallon, propane and batteries ride along, and so does your gear — and hundreds of models changed their published weights mid-run, so the model year decides as much as the model. Judged that way, with a 10% margin and 2 people aboard: 4917 of 5150 campers fit a Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD (Duramax), and 13 more fit if you buy the right years.

FIT — IF YOU BUY THE RIGHT YEARS

These changed their published weights mid-run: some model years clear a Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD (Duramax), others don't. A listing site treats them as one trailer. They aren't.

That depends on what you care about — bunks for the kids, build quality, budget, weight you'd rather not tow. Set your priorities as sliders and watch all of these re-rank around them, live, with your vehicle already filled in. Nothing gets hidden.
