F450 review in May issue of Trailer Life

Just got through reading the review in TL of the F450. Tow rating with the AccuBuilt bed is 21,300 lbs for a 5th wheel & 17,000 lbs for conventional pull behind. Great article, but since we're looking at the C4500, it didn't help us much. We've come to prefer GM products, but can't seem to find the 5th wheel tow rating anywhere. Have looked on other forums, Escapees & RVnet & no luck there either.

When we bought our 05 C3500, we had an easy time finding the tow rating for it. But for the 06's, even the TL tow guide doesn't go higher than 1-ton. Yet, they list F450/550's.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction? Can't locate a MDT dealer in VA to talk to. Haven't tried car dealer, yet. Our experience last year was the 2005 brochure was printed incorrectly & had to get information off the GM site on the internet. This year no luck finding online. Are there any Chev/GM owners out there that can steer us to correct site?

Funny though: they paired the F450 with a 36' Dutchmen Denali. They represented the Denali as a rig that could be "turned into a cozy full-timer" unit. Think I'll stick with my ES.
