Ok, I am going to provide my experience here. We bought a 2018 2500HD Diesel last year to pull our Keystone Alpine trailer which we bought in January 2018. We did the initial calculations and talked with both the RV dealer and Car Salesman. Both indicated that we could tow the trailer. Which is true.
However the issue became in how much payload capacity did we have when the RV was attached. We weighted the truck and then the truck and RV combined after a few months of ownership. The bottom line was that we were over 1,100lbs overweight and the RV was not at capacity yet. This resulted in us upgrading to a Dually since we were not comfortable with the risk of something happening in an accident.
To us the risk was not worth it. So we upgraded. As others have said, if you understand the risk and are willing to take it then move forward. IMO, you should consider the upgrade as it will let you sleep better at nigh.
