Tow Vehicle
Thinking of upgrading to a 5er but thought I would ask the forum first. Has anyone pulled the Reflection 303rls with a 3/4 ton? I have a 2020 Denali SRW with the Duramax and have 3048 lbs payload capacity. The 303 has a GVR of 12,000 lbs. Just curious about others experiences before I make my decision. Thanks in advance/

I've noticed quite a few of those at sites here in AZ with 3/4 ton tow vehicles FWIW.

I have a 303 and have towed it all across this country with absolutely no problems. I have never felt that the truck was undersized in any way. I have a 2018 Dodge Cummins with a long bed and a BW hitch. When the truck and trailer are hooked up it is perfectly level with no squat and that is with a factory suspension. I weighed it several times when I thought we were heavy and found we still had over 600 lbs to get to the max weight on the rear axel. That was with two extra 7 gallon propane tanks, Champion 3500 generator, BBQ, and gas fireplace along with a lot of miscellaneous stuff in the gang box.

Thanks for the feedback. I was feeling pretty confident but thought I would ask people who have done it.

Viper,
Even at GVWR, you will be ok.

I think you should be fine. I am 3k heavier than you and we tow all over the place with no problems concerning handling or braking. I know we are definitely max and over on payload and pin weight- not where I want to be. I am on the mission to changing that.

3048 is a very large payload number for a 3/4 ton diesel.
You would be well informed payload wise if you load the truck full of fuel and passengers and gear as you would when hauling and take it to a CAT scale. You will know your true availablepayload number. Don't forget the weight of the hitch.Geoff and Cheri

Yes, you will be just fine. Your year truck sports more realistic weight numbers than earlier versions like mine...government bs ya know. Mine tows at 11300 loaded with a genset and the fuel for it. Mostly don't carry that stuff so just under 11K mostly. Still not even 80% of GCWR or RAWR. The weight police will tell you otherwise but just weigh it and look at the tire ratings...they are the weak link most often. If your payload sticker says 3048, then there's no way you'll be over on anything with a 303...and probably not, even if it's not.
