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.

So, ignoring legalities for a moment - my buddy bought a new trailer and was pulling it with his SRW 2014 Ram.
When he took it to the scales, he found he was over on GVWR and GAWR but most importantly, over on the tire load capacity of the stock tires on the truck. Here's a full write-up with weight slips (you shouldn't need to sign in):

I'd think that people who are possibly running overloaded should make sure they're not over on the tire's capacity. IMO, that's the weakest spot.
