I had a brain fart coming home this morning while driving about going back to a SRW 1 ton. So I looked up Ford's '20 towing ratings and given what our coach weighs w/o people in cab, I'd be right at or darn near the limits again for a SRW truck. Not saying it couldn't handle it (tow), but not a whole lot of room left for extras let alone the stability of the DRW we have now. Sadly, I admit the DRW sux in the snow, but back pocket won't allow for a SRW truck at same time w/ the DRW. Unless someone can convince me otherwise, staying w/ the DRW.
Our 5ver is probably similar to yours at about 16000 lbs and our '17 SRW short box feels like a perfect match for it to me. I probably will skip the SRW long box and go duals if we ever get a 5ver much heavier. I tow a 25 - 30,000 lb tandem dually goose neck from time to time with my SRW as well ... it handles it ok but a dually would certainly be better.
