The approx cost to swap out the gears to 4.10 on your Chevy going to run you about a $1000 an axle. The max tow rating with the 4.10
2500 CC Std Bed 4WD 6.0L V-8 13,000/13,900 (k)
That's According to trailer life these figure also match up with what the dealer told me last year when we purchased our 2500 HD.

The empty weight of the 300mp is 12,000 with a carring weight of up to 4500lb the trailer is way over the safe limit of your 2500 imo.

To be safe you don't want to pull much more that 80% of you tow rating which is 11.200lb and that should be the max weight of tt not the empty weight.

Look for a lighter 5th wheel or a bigger tv to be safe.


I Know that not what you wanted to hear
