Towing Heavy 5er with SRW Truck
I personally don't as my unit is 11k dry. I see a lot of SRW diesel trucks (newer models which I know handle more than older ones) towing huge 5th wheels or toy haulers. Any of you have a setup ...

These discussions always seem to point to only one consideration.....weight, well I really hate to bust any balloons here, but the biggest stability difference between the SRW's and the DRW's and even the class 7 & 8's is the height of most of the 5'ers on the road, come on folks, most of them are 13'6" tall. The same as the semis running down the road. That is the #1 stability factor between SRW and DRW.
All I can base my experience on is towing the same HIGH PROFILE 5er over the exact same terrain, loaded to the same weight by a SRW truck and a dually.....Will agree height can have something to do with it, but having driven on curvy, mountainous secondary highway with the same 5er on a SRW truck and a dually....the Dually seemed to not "roll" for want of a better word as much as the SRW truck....the load seem to be a little more stable. (5er weighing 16,000#)....pin weight of 3300#
no ballons busted here, I'm going by my own personal experience and have no reason to embellish or lie about my experience.
