Pin weight on my Teton is 5280. Puts my dually at max on rear axle. Towing at max is no fun and rough on truck. So 3500 dually not good for all of them

My pin is 4,500# with rear axle weighing in at 8,780#. Another 780# would not be a problem as mine rides like a dream as is.

I know all you guys with SRW trucks think you can tow anything but length of a RV does come into play. I truly could not believe how stress free towing my combined load of nearly 29K is in all weather and stopping/lane changing conditions.

I travel a lot along HWY 10 between Palm Springs to Phoenix the wind can come up on you without notice. You have to look along the side of the road at the foliage to see if the wind is blowing.

Bottom line is if you want a big heavy/long RV be prepared to step up to a Dually and even more than that if needed.

My trailers weigh 18,000 and are as long as your whole rig and I have 0, nun, notta problems out of my SRW 3500. I have no air or 19.5 thingys on it either.
