DRW back to SRW
Anybody changed from Dually to SRW? Why? Are you happy with your decision? What do you haul that made you want a dually? The new generation SRW trucks have payloads of 4000#+...this may be...

Anyone running one of the new SRW 1 tons with 4000#+ payload?
Buzzcut1, Bedlam, and I all ran SRWs with 4000+ payloads that were later hauled by DRWs. My 2006 was rated over 4000. Chev/GM and Ram started rating their higher later than 2006.
In my case, it meant I carried less (stuff) and water in the SRW version. I made the same mods to my DRW F450 except I used Bilsteins instead of Rancho 9000s. I eventually went to 19.5s on the SRW. If I had it to do over, I’d go 18s with 4080 Toyo tires. At least, I think they are Toyo that go that high.
DW enjoys driving the DRW much better. The F450 also is a CC instead of SC. The SRW was much easier to drive in town. The F450 stops tremendously faster but also gets a lot worse MPG.
From time to time, I’ve thought about switching back. The main reason I don’t is cost, and I rarely drive the DRW without a TC any more since I’m retired.
