Can't say that a turning radius is top of my list as it's not often it comes into play.

350 and 450 are both 14k GVWR, it you believe you should not exceed that number the 350 will give more carrying capacity before hitting the magical number.

I should be easily in DRW, SRW is questionable. Although the 2020 SRW published payload numbers are looking much better.

Well keep in mind that Payload doesn't equal Max pin weight. The 5,411# payload on our 2016 Ram 3500 Laramie CC LB DRW shank to 4,050# for pin once we had the truck loaded for pulling. That is 1,361# of people, dog, and stuff. Stuff is like tools, in bed tool box, and other items.

Our 32'5er weighs about 12,500# loaded and has a 2,700# pin, just something to think about if that SRW thought passes your mind again.

That's if you are actually considering the 14k GVWR means something besides a licensing and insurance limit.

FACT is I run a 5,750# pin and I am at my SAE rear axle rating and under my front axle SAE rating. I am licensed for what my 6 tires are carrying. GOLDEN

OH, also I am WAY under my rear tires capacity.
