I think Chevy is just as bad if not worse. In their fine print is says all the standard stuff about the percentage of 5er weight on the pin, don't exceed the ratings, etc, and also that the 2500HD's max pw is 3000. Fine...if you put 3000 on a D/A, you are already over GVWR since the D/A combo weighs 700. However, you can put 3000 on a 6 L gasser, and be within GVWR...except the GCWR is only 16000 so you can't haul anything.
That's why it takes some serious research before buying one of these thing. And the absolute last resouce, IMHO, would be the salesman.
