So - my main reason for looking at SRW vs DRW was both cost and availability. My wife looked at me last night and said if you are questioning it then you already know the right answer. When towing with my F-450, I always felt comfortable towing with no effects of wind and the chassis handled the weight great. I'm now waiting to see what I get for my old truck so I can see how much new truck I can reasonably afford. It really sucks as my old truck was working great with no issues, but at least no one was hurt or even worse killed.
