GMC 2500HD Towing Capacity Question

My wife and I are considering purchasing a 2019 Keystone Montana 3121RL.

We have a 2003 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax Diesel, with auto transmission, Crew Cab, 6.5' bed and around 70,000 miles.

I want to know if this truck is adequate to pull this fifth wheel rig. I am a 'newbie' at towing something this big.

On-Line available Montana Specs:
Dry Wt. Camper = 12,014 lbs.
Payload Cap. of Camper = 4366 lb.
GVWR of camper = 16, 380 lb.
Hitch wt. of camper = 2385 lb.

From the Truck Owner's Manual:
6.6L V8 Diesel
Axle Ratio = 3.73
Maximum Trailer Weight = 15, 400 lbs.
GCWR = 22,000 lbs.
