How heavy is TOO heavy? GVWR on a 2500

News Flash! The dually version of my SRW has the same exact brakes. Matter of fact, I would venture to say my SRW will out stop your DRW any day of the week and twice on Sunday. If I'm not mistaken my GVWR is more than your DRW.
I just love the group that buys to extra wheels and think they have the greatest. LOL
I can see where you're coming from for sure. I'd honestly say the argument under normal conditions is more so the tire contact much of which is the front so obviously the same.
I'm personally not too worried about stopping, my 5er has great brakes and the new truck comes with a very capable engine brake. I can't imagine they gave the truck a 30k towing capacity because it'll have a hard time stopping the ~18,000 I'll have. I believe the GCWR is 37,600lbs. Just a smidgen more than my current 22,000lb rating!
