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.
I don't understand this one. My hitch swivels back and forth and side to side, so how does the height of the trailer significantly affect the stability of the tow vehicle? I agree the height of the trailer (mine is 13'4") does affect how the trailer "handles", and I worry about that, especially when cornering at highway speed. In fact, I keep my water tanks and fuel station full in part to lower the center of gravity. Are we saying the same thing?
And BTW, I really don't like the bickering and aloofness that some people inject in these discussions. We're all here to learn and share.
