2017 2500HD versus 3500HD SRW
I'm getting ready to shop for a new tow vehicle, probably mid-2017. I'm planning to use the truck for almost daily driver duties as well as towing, and I'm definitely wanting a diesel but I don't want...

I tow a 42' 5'er, with a gross weight of 16,500# and a pin weight of 2900# with my RAM 2500 SRW.... But before any of the duly sworn Weight Police Officers arrest me or even scold me about the carnage and death that I could cause, I do it with an Automated Safety Hitch.
Check out their website. Watch their videos. I'm VERY happy with mine, this far, and once the season is over, I intent to write-up and share a full product review.
It's an expensive alternative, but I now have 4 tires running day to day, vs the 6 that I'd have with a dually, plus I don't have the fender extensions to deal with in parking lots... Additionally, the ASH gives me an extra 6000# axle with another full set of truck brakes that are as strong as the truck's rear brakes.....
How long is that combo in total? It's gotta be a handful once you pull off the highway.
