The F350 DRW has a 6000 fawr and a 9900 rawr = 15900 lbs of braking performance at a minimum.
Now hook up a 30000 lb Kaufman tri axle GN flat deck trailer with 3 10k axles = 30000 lbs of braking performance. Other brands can have two 15k axles.
Now the F350 DRW and a 30k trailer have 45900 lbs of braking performance at a minimum.
In this line of work the trucks brakes stops the truck and its rated load and the trailers brakes stops the trailer.
Its rare we see a 30000+ lb rv trailer on the road.
