Maximum 5th wheel weight for SRW
I'm going to buy a new 5th wheel this spring and I know I must upgrade my truck also. I like the Excel 37IKE but it has a GVW of 18,700 and I hate DRW trucks. Is there any make of SRW that would safe...

I pull my Excel with a SRW but mine is 3 feet shorter and lighter. I am within all specs, fully loaded, but not by much. My truck does an excellent job, is very stable and stops very well but I'm not sure I would want to pull anything bigger with it. I really think in that weight range I would want a dually. Excel has an option for upgraded tires and disk brakes which we have and I highly recommend. I think it helps a bunch with the handling and stopping. Ours has load range J Michelins.
We find our 34 to be very roomy and more than adequate for our needs. Not sure you have looked at one or if it would work for you but that would be an option to keep you in the SRW range.
