you are correct that is what i was thinking...
thanks for explaining GVW/GVRW
No problem, so you'll have a 5er that will have a GVW of 13,000# to 14,500#, and we've "ball parked " a pin weight of 2600# to 2900#, (possibly higher, but again that's with unit fully loaded to it's GVW)....I'd still recommend, as others did, that you go with a 3500 SRW, though, I believe a 2500 could handle the weights you're looking at. The 3500 will have a higher RAWR of 7500# if not mistaken as well as a higher GVWR...For no more that the 3500 SRW cost over the 2500, I'd look and see what you could get one for...
