IF truck/trailer are properly matched if doesn't matter
Can be a 1/4 ton truck or a 1 ton dually and everything in between.

Understand tow vehicles REAL ratings and match them with trailers REAL weights all good to go
I have a 3500 SRW and tow a 13,873# (actual scaled weight) 5th wheel.
First 7 yrs was FT all over the USA.
NEVER had a 'white knuckle' moment or a second thought of 'should have had a DRW' cause truck/trailer were 'matched'
Have had DRWs in past and for the weights being towed they were the right tool
Right tool for the job..........don't need a sledge hammer when a tack hammer is right tool. Vice versa....tack hammer is NOT what you want when driving spikes.
