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...

I'm still with kids and just got into a mid-sized 5th wheel that fits with my 2500 6.4 Hemi. Once the kids are grown and it's more often just the DW and I, it's either a diesel pusher or a 5th wheel. With the 5th wheel route I have no interest in a DRW and I'm currently thinking of loaded/wet weight of no more than 15K.
I absolutely believe all the reports of the DRW being more stable. I would just rather downsize my 5th to fit a SRW than deal with the DRW as a vehicle w/o the 5th attached. It's a personal choice and we are all entitled to our opinions.
The way I look at it (wet/loaded weights):
Gas SRW up to 11K or so
SRW diesel up to 15K
DRW diesel 15K+
