I can see how my post might be confusing. I started using my gooseneck behind my 2011 F350 srw. It handled some big loads.....up to 30,000 lbs. My neighbor borrows my gooseneck and tows similar loads with his new GMC srw. He's happy with the way his truck handles the trailer as well. So although we tow some heavier loads with our SRW trucks and we are happy with the way the trucks perform I realize that a dually would be better for heavier loads like that. For the little RVs the new SRW diesels are more than adequate. I think my 2017 f350 SRW is rated for 20600 lbs. I'd be amazed if someone who is happy towing his 14600 lb rv with his 2008 dually wouldn't be even happier towing an 18000 lb rv with a new SRW.
I probably would be happier but I don't want a truck payment. Also, if I get a newer truck the wife wants a bigger FW so two reasons to stick with my old reliable 08 DRW.
