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.

Exactly. You would need to be grossly overloaded before most police officers would bat an eye. Then your GVWR would be used as the mark to guage by.
This is incorrect in BC; DOT conduct random roadside checks with portable scales. I happen to know 2 people who have been stopped and weighed; they were both within their vehicle's GVWR and were allowed to proceed.
This is one of the reasons we have had a DRW truck since 2006; to be well within the GVWR of the truck.
