Tow Rig question SRW or DRW for 5th RAM
I'm sure this has been debated millions of times, but here is a new spin. At what weight would you consider a DRW to be mandatory whilst towing a fifth wheel ? 10k 11k 12k 13k 14k 15k 16...

Mandatory? Not sure. But at around 16,000 pounds I would want a dually. At around 12-13,000 the diesel. At 16,000 pounds pin weight will be at or around 3200 pounds, plus the hitch, plus all the people and stuff in the truck. You will likely be close to payload gross on a SRW.
You're right in line with my thinking. :-)
