SRW vs DRW
At what weight / length FW is DRW a necessity? Realizing it's very subjective, but is there a consensus? Assuming everything else is equal on the tow rig.

Not really subjective. Wouldn’t have a DRW unless absolutely needed. Too difficult to park, drive off-road etc.
Typical comment from someone who doesn't drive DRW daily.
Tell me why a comparable DRW is harder to park than a SRW?
Payload , stability and better braking are why you chose DRW over SRW
seems to me that DRW trucks sort of stick out wider than SRW ones??????

Yeah...having owned several of both ...and made a living for several years with mostly DRW trucks they did not and will not go or park or load and unload in places I've had to sometimes get into. Even every day living. Brags like that tell me someone doesn't speak for all.
A few year back 99 percent one ton drw trucks were running transport. Now its about 70/30 DRW vs SRW one tons....and even 3/4 tons according to one Transport company Q&A. Even commercial haulers (includes hot shot) more and more SRW truck/owners are showing up on those types of forums.
The one ton DRW biggest advantage is payload.
