2. At what point do you say I need a DRW not a SRW truck?
For us, that decision was made when we purchased our first 18 foot travel trailer, moving from a pop-up. Why such a "big" truck for such a small trailer? Because we wanted to have "everything" covered! If we wanted to go bigger we could. If we wanted to go 5er, we could. If we wanted to go with a truck camper, we could. I could tow anything I owned, I could tow anything anybody else owned. And our decision to do so has proven itself worth it's salt many, many times over.
