If you exceed the tow ratings of the truck you will not have insurance coverage in the event of an accident/incident; no matter who or what is at fault. Your insurance company will cancel your policy.

make sure you upgrade the trailer hitch to a class5

True and great point. Even if you plan to tow within the factory specs, the factory tow hitch is junk. Go for a Reese Titan-V or a Putnam XDR Class-V hitch.

Like Brian says.. Change the hitch for safe measure.
I haven't changed it, and have pulled a LOT more than you'd believe (22,000lb)
You'll likely be fine stock, but a bigger hitch is no bad idea.

It's a damn good truck. I have an awful lot of seat time in the GM, towing seat time.

Amen.

Overweight towing is Russian Roulette with 5 bullets. Anyone who tells you different is a fool.

Ive pulled 12k on the hitch with my 06 2500hd. Absolutely no problem, however if I was going to pull weight in that range on a regular basis, I'd go with a dually for the peace of mind.

Don't forget the rear airbags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
