I have zero experience towing above 3000 lbs with my 1500. My heavy towing experience is with a CDL, but that was a different animal.
Based on all the various numbers, I can tow 9000 lbs with my 1500 and still be under the max. My question is: would anything feel "better" towing that weight with a 2500 vs. the 1500? Leaving aside the fact that the 2500 will have more power, what about road manners? Would a 2500 feel any different towing 9000 lbs, more stable, more controllable, etc etc?
I'm very tempted to get a new 6.6 Silverado gasser, but only if it makes a difference. I'm really very happy with my 1500 and I would like to stick with it if it can pull that weight totally safely.
