New Guy, Mega Cab Towing
Looking for input on the towing of a new 3500 megacab, 4x4, towing a fifthwheel with a dry weight of 12,000lbs. The fifthwheel will be a BigHorn 3670RL so the short box shouldn't be a problem. Towing mostly freeway to beach, some towing in Mountains of Utah and Colorado.
I guess towing loaded would be around 14,000lbs. Any info would be greatly
appreciated.

If it's a 5.9, I'd say first off get a exhaust brake, then get a Quadzilla Commander and a XZT tow chip. Then get yourself a Hytec diff cover and fill the rear end with a high quality rear end oil like Amasoil. You mite also need a slider hitch, I recommend the Superglide by pullrite.
After all that..........just hookup and go. Oooops, forgot you mite need a set of airbags too.
I'm using all the above and I'm pulling 14.5K lbs. Just got back from 4 days in Sequoia Nation Park.
