Jim, I am going to weigh the truck in about two weeks. It is still stock out the factory except for running boards and soft tonneau cover. I would think that the 6618 on paper, while it may not be exact, it is very close. My 2002 2500HD weighed 6200 lbs. I believe this 3500 SWR is much less than 8500 lbs. There is nothing wrong with a DWR. I just have other needs for my truck and I feel very comfortable also with this as a TV. My pin weight of my 3400 is 2200# (two separate weights over the last couple years).

My 2012 Silverado weighs loaded with two generators, extra 6 gallons of reg fuel, two passengers and one dog........8220#. My GVWR for my 2012 is 11600# which leaves 3380# for pin load. My pin weight on my 3725 is 3200# which leaves me under by only 180 pounds of my 11600# GVWR. All figures are from a CAT scale.
Maximum trailer weight for my 2012 is 16900#. I find it interesting that the rating are quite bit different in one year. Is the 2013 GMC a diesel? .....Sorry I just looked....it is a diesel. Brings me to another question....
What is the axle rating for the front axle?
What is the axle rating for the rear axle?
Mine are 6000# for front axle and 7050 for the rear. I would think that the rear should be the same as mine, because of the limit of the tires to 3525# rating. The front axle of my truck is higher because of the snow plow option. It is rated higher. Maybe this is why you are lower rated?
