2022 Silverado 2500HD / Montana 3911FB

[LilRedLX92]

All,

So excited for our first Montana purchase, but I might have gotten a little greedy......

Just purchased a new 2022 Silverado 2500HD, 4x4, Crew Cab, standard bed, 6.6 Duramax / Allison transmission. Most powerful truck I have ever had, but first time out of the gas burners. We have pulled 5th wheels before, with a 1500HD/6.0 gas, but only a 26 ft.

So....we start the hunt for a 5th wheel. We have looked at SO many models and done a lot of research, but found a 2016 Montana 3911FB that we absolutely LOVE! It fits exactly what we want and we have negotiated a great deal on it from an individual. This being said, I started looking at weights.....

GVWR of camper is 16,000 lbs.
GVWR of my truck is SO damn confusing, it is unreal. Dealer told me 18,500 for a 5th wheel, but I am not sure with what I can find. I have attached pics for reference, would like some opinions from y'all first. Truck sticker says 18,500 for a gooseneck, GCWR of 27,500 lbs. Truck GVWR is 11,350 / Camper GVWR is 16,000. This seems I am right at the limit....unloaded.

Please, before any flaming might begin, I am asking so that I can learn and NOT be one of those out on the side of the road AFTER something bad happens. We haven't exchanged any money for the camper yet, so I could back out, I just don't want to.....LOL

Thanks in advance for your help! Rick
