Our 23 GMC 2500 DMax Handles our 30RLS great. The 32RLS is just slightly heavier.

Thanks. Have you added anything to the suspension?
Nope. Stock everything. B&W hitch (non-slider). It does squat the truck a little. But nothing that is of concern. Rides smooth, with no chucking.
Just hit 4000 miles. Most towing.

We tow our 2024 32RLS with our 2024 Chevy 2500HD 4x4 LTZ Z71. Honestly, I wish the truck had a few less bells and whistles. We also installed a Gen-Y on day-1.

It tows great! Plenty of power, plenty of stop capability. Know how to use your diesel brake, it’s very helpful. We do have a little squat (the pic enhances it a bit) so I am looking at bags or mild suspension upgrades. I scaled the other day and although the specs say we have plenty of excess payload; we were actually 160# over payload. We are well within all other limits. While we were not fully loaded for FT, we do also have a washer and dryer upfront and we added a Brooklyn Bedding (heavy) mattress. I am not overly concerned as we will adjust. When we mitigate the squat, it should transfer a little weight back to the front axle.

Long story short (too late), you will have plenty of truck and a great setup! Enjoy!IMG_1929.jpeg

Bags will not transfer any weight to front, they will fix squat, that is all. Trailer loading is your only cure for the payload overage. I wouldn’t sweat 160lbs. though. As long as tires are up to it, send it.

I am running the same trailer with a 2024 F250 HD6.7L. We chose the Gen-Y hitch because we didn't have to put the extra 250# or whatever the sliding hitches weigh in the calcs for the weight carried. My truck says it has a -2 degree sag in the rear, but was not an issue for 8 hours of pulling on the way home. I really like the puck system and how easy the 3 items are removed when not using them. You should be fine.

That grey truck looks good with the colors scheme of the Avenue

Just don't drive at night like this as modern headlights at a raised angle will blind other drivers lol. -2 after factory rake is a lot of rise.
