I have owned both, I have a 40 ft 5th wheel and a SWD (3500) now there are a few differences the stability is not as good and the brakes are smaller. I would never buy another SWD, stick with the DWD.

With a 40' 5th wheel you are probably over on all the ratings for a SRW 350/3500. And then wonder why it isn't stable and you need DRW. Duh

And you are 100% sure on this?

This truck handles the weight just as good as the truck in the next picture.....

I can tell you what truck I would rather be driving in a downhill panic lane change!!!

I guess if someone didn't know any better and just judged a book by it's cover then they would pick the truck with six wheels on in. I will tell you this. It is amazing what you can do if you place the correct "band-aids" in the correct place.:W

If you look closely also you will see that they both have the exact same band , model , and size tire on them. One just has two extra on the rear. Both trucks also have a 2" lift under the fronts.

Not just 50% more tires but more weight on the ground.

I would not be caught dead driving your SRW with that load.

I personally know what happens when you have too much tail for the dog. It's called trailer actually passing me flipping on it's side and causing me to 180 and completely roll over.

Threw a dually in front of the exact same load and never even dreamed of going out of control after that.

So I do have a little experience in the tail wagging the dog.
