SRW vs DRW
Is there a general rule regarding how much weight is okay for SRW and how much is too much? We are thinking of a larger 5er and not sure how much larger will require a new truck too.

I go by payload rating. My 2500 had a payload of 1800 pounds but it handled my 14,500 pound trailer well. In anticipation of getting my toy hauler we got the dually with a 5,000 pound payload. Our Voltage has 3,500 pounds on the pin (CAT scale) and we have no worries.
A payload rating of 1,800 pounds is hardly enough to have passengers in the truck, much less anything in the bed. Your previous truck is a good example why keeping an eye on these ratings is important. There is virtually no 5th wheel out there with 1,200 pounds of pin weight.
