Here is a challenge that Pickuptrucks.com ran on 2018 1 ton SRW and then 2017 1 ton DRW where they did a braking challenge from 60 MPH to 0.
1 ton SRW:
Chevy - 165.3 feet
Ford - 158.3 feet
1 ton DRW:
GMC - 133.39 feet
Ford - 139.68 feet
The DRW test was done on a drag strip (Las Vegas motor speedway).
The SRW test was done on a dusty airport runway in Kingman AZ.
Those are two completely different surfaces. LOL.
I really don't think those conditions are that much different as to invalidate the results. Dually has more braking ability.
It's not like one was in the rain vs. a sunny day.
If really in doubt conduct your own test. With your own trailer.
I have towed same trailer with dually and SRW.
Spoiler alert: The dually will stop faster.
I never knew or considered the DRW and SRW have same braking components. I simply recognized from the driver seat the dually stops quicker than the srw
