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.

Loaded truck weight is 10800 lbs ... the GVWR is 11500 lbs..... max rear axle weight rating is 7230 lbs
You must have a helium balloon in your front bedroom or something. My trailer weighs in the 9k lb range and has 2300 pounds of pin weight!
Good for you for not being overloaded and actually checking, though. The newer SRWs definitely have the advantage with the stronger tires and higher GVWR. Mine is maxed out at 9900.
