We have a 2006 Chev 2500HD CCSB with the Duramax/Allison.
Truck empty is 4240 front axle, 2940 drive axle on a scale
With the 2009 2955RL ready to travel it is 4600 front axle, 5040 drive axle and 9260 both trailer axles on a scale.
2100 pin, and 9260 axles totals 11360. A bit over trailer spec weight but we travel light. Reese goose box and gooseneck hitch in the truck, no clearance issues.
The truck handles the trailer very well, pulls it easily and stops good. One time in CA we were going around a sweeping corner 55ish mph and they had a rough road 35mph sign and in 100 yds a 4' drop off. That was a moment to remember.
I just ordered a '22 F350 CCSB SRW as the Chev is at the max of its rated 13000 fifth wheel tow capacity. IMO I wouldn't pull anything heavier than the 5er we have now with the 3/4 ton. Newer trucks have higher ratings.
