Thanks for all of your input. Here are the numbers I have gathered for my 2019 Chev. Silverado 3500 HD Duramax SRW

Truck 445 HP 910 Tq.
Front Axle curb wt 3789
Rear Axle curb wt. 2738
GVWR Cap 11500
GCWR 25300
Axle Capacity-Front 6000
Axle Capacity-Rear 7050
5th Wheel Mx Trailer Wt 17200
5th wheel Max tongue Wt. 4300
Max Trailering Capacity 13000

Cargo Capacity 3711 (From the door sticker)
CAT Curb weight with full tank and passengers 7900 lbs. (Add 200 for Hitch)

From some of the calculators that I have used online, it appears I could safely tow a 5th wheel trailer with a unloaded weight less than 14,000 lbs with at pin weight of less than 3200 lbs. assuming the calculators are accurate. Am I missing anything? If anyone else has more experience with the calculations, plug in the numbers and give me your input please.

Thanks!
