What can a Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD (Duramax) ('20-23) actually tow?
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: 4966 of 5150 campers fit a Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra 2500HD (Duramax), and 13 more fit if you buy the right years.
The number that quietly binds is payload — 3,544 lb (2500HD Regular Cab Long Bed 2WD, Duramax 6.6L, 17" wheels, GVWR 10,550 lb — the exact row Chevrolet rates at 18,510 lb. Crew/Double Cab and 4x4 rows fall to roughly 3,375-3,657 lb.): tongue weight lands on the rear axle with your passengers and the hitch, so a vehicle often runs out of payload well before it runs out of rating.
Loaded estimate: dry weight + full fresh tank + propane, battery and gear for 2. Headroom is against the rating less 10%.
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.
