With your GCWR (gross combined weight rating) of 24,000 and a truck that can weigh 10,650 maximum. Therefore a maximum weight of 13,350 for any trailer you would tow. The problem becomes threefold. A fifth wheel weighing that much would put you way over on your load capacity. A bumper pull anywhere near that weight would almost certainly require a dually for stability, and you would be very sad trying to tow that much weight with a gasser. I have owned many trucks and the gasser simply doesn't have the whoop-ass like diesel. Much better for you to look for a late model 350/3500 diesel. Yes, I realize it is easy for me to spend your money, but I'd rather be blunt than to let you believe that the 2500 gas would suffice. And if you buy a 2500 diesel then your payload takes a large beating.
