As you know I'm a big XLR fan. I had a Road Warrior 30C before my current XLR. Pin there loaded and ready for travel was about 3100# with the garage empty and 2900# with 2k back there. My current 395AMP is 2850# with the garage empty and 2700# loaded. My SRW 350 has hauled both about 20k miles total and I have never had an issue. No worries whatsoever. The XLR is a touch more stable with the garage loaded than the 30C was. I think it's the triple axle and Tuson sway control that makes the difference.
All that said, the only downfall I've found is not what those who love to panic on the forums usually cite. No issue with braking, sway, or hills. NONE. It's rough roads that makes the ride no fun. It's not something that causes alarm or "white knuckle" towing. It does however provide a really rough ride on my SRW. We recently took a trip from MA to FL and made the mistake of taking I95 down. WOW, is that road beat to hell until you get past VA. NC down was OK but VA and north gave my truck and those of us in it a beating. Took the western route back 77 to 81 to 84 to 87 and it was a beautiful hauling experience.
I've posted my numbers here before but just to add to the above, I'm under on truck GVWR, GAWR, and tire ratings. Over on GCWR but not a concern for me.
