    3500HD SRW dimensions

    The chevy website only has dimensions for the 3500HD Dual Wheel truck. I'm looking at getting the 3500HD Single Rear Wheel. I currently have a 2016, 2500HD 4x4. My concern is, are the truck heights and bed heights the same for 2500HD and the 3500HD. For those who have switched over, have you experienced any problems with your 5th wheel hitch clearing the box rails? Both trucks being a 4x4.

    I don’t have our measurements handy, but you should be able to figure it from the published specs on tailgate height and bed depth.

    That said, it will depend on your trailer and hitch. We had similar concerns. We have a 2019 GMC Denali 3500 SRW, a B&W RVK 3700 set at the middle height, and a 2019 Solitude 310GK. We have about 6 1/2 inches of bed rail clearance, and the trailer is level hooked up.

    The literature on the Chevy website gives dimensions for 3500 DRW, not SRW. That's why I'm reaching out to all you guru's

    The GMC site shows all the dimensions for the HD https://media.gm.ca/media/ca/en/gmc/...2016.tab1.html, not sure why Chevy doesn't. We have the GMC 3500HD SRW, with our 320MKS (pin wt 2400) we had almost 8 inches of clearance using the Andersen set on middle ball position and trailer was level. With the 230RL we have about 6 inches clearance and trailer is nose high about 2", and doesn't squat truck near as much. (we are working out ideas to level it out more). If you need a specific dimension, not on the site let me know and I'll try to get it for you. When we were truck shopping every dimension I took was identical GMC to Chevy, which I figured they should be, but you never know!

    We also found the GMC and Chevy dimensions the same. When we hooked up the Solitude 310 with our old 2008 Chevy 2500 and old B&W hitch we only had maybe 5” of clearance, and the 2008 bed rails were about 3” lower to ground than 2019 GMC, unhitched. So.....the trailer and hitch make a difference.

    It must so happens I have the truck at the dealership for an oil change and they happen to have a 3500SRW on the lot. I saw it this morning. If you want I can measure the bed rail height when I pick it up.

    Just let me know.

    I just realized it's a 2019. The new body style is coming in 2020, so it should work for your purpose.

    It's on grass now (moved) and the bed rail was right at 57". The tailgate was locked but the bed floor was in the neighborhood for 38-39" off the ground. Bed depth was 21.5 from the bottom of the troughs to the top cap on the tailgate.

    Hope that helps.

    Oh, and it had an msrp of 71k. I choked. It's a high country, but dang...

    Those rails were measured through the center of the wheel. The bed floor-ground I estimated based on the bumper and what I could see in the tailgate to bed side seam. The bed depth was measured from inside the bed obviously.
