DRW vs. SRW for towing fivers
Has anyone towed fivers with both DRW and SRW pickups? I currently have a F350 diesel DRW, and I'm looking to get a new F350 but I'm debating on the rear wheel config. Ease of parking and maneuvering...

I pull a 16,000 gvw trailer with a Ford F350 diesel SRW and the truck does not know that a trailer is in tow. A dually is a pain in the butt if you really don't need one. The SRW trucks these days are a big improvement of the past. Duallys are needed for trailer with High GVW and then I would go for a 450 which is built to be a dually rather than an add on like the 250/350 would be.
I'd worry about that...do you tow in the mountains any? Just curious...I got to get an F350 SRW if you can tow a 16,000# trailer and not even know you're towing a trailer....that is fantastic...I will admit, though I hate to....having towed 5er's with Chevy SRW trucks and Chevy DRW trucks with D/A's as well as the Ram's I've owned....on some of the mountains I've towed, I knew 16,000# was "back there"
Didn't really understand your last statement, "If I would go for a 450 which is built to be a dually rather than an "add on" like the 250/350 would be:h..WOW.....heck, I'm an engineer and didn't understand that....so an F350 or 3500 Chevy or Ram just have "an add on"??????:h
