When you have had a chance to tow a 23k DRV wide body that is 13'5" tall in 40+ mph winds hitting you at a 45 from the front towing at 75mph and feel totally secure and solid you have no idea how good the towing is with a modern DRW.
You people always on or over the edge I truly hope you never get into a OH Sh!T situation with your load.
I don't think there are many people pulling 23k DRVs with SRW trucks .... you need a dually. However, the 2020 Ford SRW F350 is rated to tow up to 22000 lbs. I wouldn't be surprised to discover that a 40 ft, 22000 lb triple axle fiver tows very nice behind a new srw 1 ton. For tandem axle fivers I think anything much over 16,000 lbs and it's time to give up on the SRW truck.
It’s nice YOU understand the triple axle trailers have a light pin allowing these higher weights. Problem arises when people say “it’s rated to tow XYZ” and their RV has well over 20% pin.
I do think there is a point that a SRW is unsafe at these upper weights and being so LOOOONG.
Tail wagging the dog!
