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 own a 3500 SRW, Crew Cab Short bed 68RFE with the Cummins. My maximum payload is roughly 3,800 lbs according to the sticker. GVWR is 11,700 IIRC. I think you may be at/near the limit of payload if you use the 20% rule. Then you'd have no room for anything but yourself on the truck.
