The factory hitch rating for a 2005 Chevy 2500HD typically ranges from 10,000 to 12,000 pounds for conventional towing, depending on the specific configuration and whether it has the optional towing package. The maximum fifth-wheel towing capacity can reach up to around 16,000 pounds or more, again depending on the specific setup. Always refer to the owner's manual or the manufacturer's specifications for the exact ratings relevant to your vehicle.
