For the longest time though, as it's been discussed here that anything over 15,000 was dually territory. How many folks want to tow 18K with a SRW?
Pretty hard to get to 18k without busting the 4k pound payload limit. Any 5er over 14-15k is going to be pushing it. "Tow rating" doesn't mean anything if your truck can't hold up the pin/tongue weight while doing so.
Shockingly, people tow things other than campers. It's pretty easy to manipulate how much pin weight you've got on a gooseneck utility trailer by where you place the load relative to the trailer axles.
