Beautiful!! Any information good/bad you can share?

I'm looking at a 5500 Laramie crew cab chassis in white with max towing & max payload. I'm really confused about the towing ratings.
On-line truck description says max trailer weight 22,590. My 2008 550 does that easily. 2019 Brochures claim GCWR 43,000 and max towing 29,960lbs.
There are no 2020 4500/5500 towing specs published yet. I am going off 2019, but I dont like doing that.

If you didnt see it, a ton of other good info in there also. I often keep a vehicle past warranty and dont mind working on them myself. The only issues Ive had where I really needed "the book" was with wiring stuff and its all in the bodybuilder stuff.

Well, she arrived last Friday and all I could get was a quick picture from one angle. So now begins the waiting game of the body company (Eby) getting my aluminum flatbed installed. I don稚 know when they will reopen.
2020 Laramie 5500 crew cab 4WD 60 c/a.
Eby installing 8 x 9 aluminum bed with 45,000lb hitch (interchangeable 3 & 2-5/16). 2) 30 toolboxes under bed and 2)48 boxes topside. I will be moving my DeeZee 80 gallon fuel cell up against the cab shield myself.
