I find the topic pretty interesting. Those convinced their SRW can pull anything will never change, when the 5th wheel topic is regarding "payload". An F250 can tow plenty, but the payload limit is less than an F350 SRW - and the payload for the SRW is less than the DRW. People must know their "actual" pin weight to know if their truck is properly sized. Too many guesses based on a percentage of their trailer GVWR. I "know" my pin weight (3400 lbs) and I know my truck empty and loaded weight, and I know a F350 SRW would tow fine, but would be overloaded. That's why I bought the DRW.... If you have been to the scales and know your total weights, and you are under your trucks payload label, then you have the right truck.
