    We are looking at Reflections 303 and 337.
    Will also look at Solitude 310.
    However have 2019 gmc 2500 Duramax.

    My opinion , the 337 and 310 are to big for the 2500 , but there are some that do it. The thing you have to watch is the pin weight compared to the cargo weight yellow sticker on the door jam of the truck.

    By the way welcome to the forum.

    Brian, The 337 would actually put me overweight for the cargo capacity by around 500 lbs with full tanks and people and dog and generator on board. The pin weight is the culprit. as far as overall GCCWR It would be under but only by 1800 lbs.
    Hope to receive some additional comments. Even those that did and wished they hadn't

    Patience , the comments will be along shortly and many. The cargo weight is the important one.

    Determining what you can carry in your truck, aka "payload", is one of the most hotly debated topics on this forum. I'll refrain from giving an opinion on the subject. What I will do is ask you to go to the Reference Library here on the forum and look at this thread: https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...ing-Capability

    In the first post of that thread is an accumulation of resources that will help you understand how to determine what your truck can handle--and why. Once you "learn to fish" you won't have to rely on anyone here or a saleperson's opinion* to "get a fish". And I hope the fish reference isn't befuddling...

    Good luck with your search! And welcome to the forum.

    One more thing--look through the https://www.mygrandrv.com/fo...-pull-a-______ section of this forum and you'll have days and days of reading. Enjoy!

    As others have said, pin weight vs. your cargo capacity will be your limiting factor. Look through the links Howson provided and search (box in the upper right corner). There are many detailed discussions on the forum about this very topic. With a 3/4 ton diesel you will have limited payload. I have a Solitude 310GK and 2017 F-350 1 ton SWR (single rear wheel) truck (see sig) and I am pushing the rated limits. I think a 310GK will be over the limits of a 3/4 ton diesel.

    Thanks for the comments. I concur on the 310. Since my new truck is a 4x4 and has the b&w turnover ball installed the 303 pretty much will max out payload. The Queen thinks the hanging space is lacking on the 303
    I’m still learning my way around on this site.
    Thanks to all
