Towing a 40’ weekend warrior 4005 flt.

Forty feet isn’t an issue, IMO. What is the weight of the trailer loaded and ready to camp? What is the max tow weight and payload of the 2500 truck? What and who rides in the truck?

Don’t waste your money on a three-quarter ton with that trailer, you need to definitely be in a 1 ton truck.. keep in mind, it’s not about the length, it’s all about the pin weight.

The three-quarter ton truck will fall short on the carrying capacity

OK I’ve been looking at someone turns ones just single wheel in the back and then I glanced at a dually is that gonna really matter I prefer single tire just because I do drive the truck a lot without the trader but I’m not set on it

Weekend Warriors were notorious for extremely heavy trailers, which were always understated by WW. I would imagine a 40 foot Full Throttle model would need a dually...at least that's what I would be looking at.

SRW also come in 1 ton

As been said, Weekend Warriors are heavy (I speak from experience here), so if you can deal with it, go for the dually, but SRW will probably work.

While true, they have nowhere near the payload capacity, nor the safety factor as a DRW. Our DRW is our daily driver and really don’t have an issue. One gets use to the hips and parking ..

Agree with Russ. On a 40’ TH, you may find an SRT 1 ton might appear to pull it okay, but not actually have the pin weight capacity. My 43’ TH has a 4000+ lb pin weight when loaded which, at least in 2014, required 1T DRW. It’s been our daily driver for almost 8 years now.

Well it seems you are picking and choosing your numbers, a Diesel DRW will not have a 6,838# payload.
14,000 - 6,838 = 7,162 that is one stripped down gas DRW.
