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 ...

I have towed a 13' 2" tall 5th with both a DRW and now a SRW truck.
Is there a difference? Sure. The DRW felt more stable in turns. I installed airbags for stability, not extra weight carrying. I am more than confident in my SRW truck.
I will gladly turn circles inside of your DRW trucks turning radius, plus find plenty of parking that isn't a mile from where I want to go. Try taking your DRW truck up the Mt. Washington Auto road....tell me how great it is there. Oh, wait, you won't be going up the road.
Everyone has their own situation and preference. If you full time, and drive around the country, park your rig, and sit there, I'm sure a DRW is the best thing since sliced bread. If you travel back roads, go visit places once you are there, and have to park your rig into tight places, SRW is great.
I can tell you, 90% of the RV delivery drivers I see on a daily basis are towing with SRW trucks.....to them, it is all about registration, maintenance, wear, being able to get in and out of tight spots, and capability.
