Possibly Downsizing to SRW from DRW
I've been toying with the idea of switching to an SRW soon. Has anyone done it and later regretted it, due to the load you haul, such as truck camper, or towing a large trailer? Looking for input.

I have a 15,000 LB 5th wheel/ 3200 LB pin weight. I've towed it with two SRW pickups and two DRW pickups. The DRWs both have felt more stable in towing the 5th wheel. All 4 trucks had plenty of capacity for the 5th wheel. Both SRWs felt squishy in the rear end when turning or quick avoidance maneuvers.
While towing with one of the DRW I had an inner dual go flat just at the beginning of a long bridge. I was able to continue towing until I reached the end of the bridge and the exit to get off and put the spare on. I'm not sure I would have been able to do that with a SRW.
I will always buy a DRW truck for heavy loads.
