We do plan to weigh the trailer on the truck as soon as the weather clears. By locally I mean 200 to 300 miles and we do make 1 long trip (1000 plus miles) to a different National Park every year. If we were to go the 1 Ton rout we would certainly go with a DRW as the SRW would offer little practical advantage our current truck. I really have no Idea how much weight we take along, a weeks worth of clothes for the four of us and we generally buy all our groceries before we leave. It will be interesting to see how much we do haul with us.
Not saying it's right or wrong but we see much larger units on 250/2500 series trucks all the time.
My 3500 srw has 2,100# more GVWR than your 2500. I have just under 3,700# payload.;)
Sorry I do not believe your 3500srw has a 11,700# gvw rating.
I looked at a door sticker to a sw 3500 GM a few months back. And to my surprise, it had an 11700 gvwr on the door sticker, 300 lbs more than my 05 GM dually! BUT< I still somehow had more payload by 300 lbs or so.
