We have never pulled a heavy 5th wheel with a SRW for the simple reason that both of our 5th wheels exceeded the Pin weight capabilities if a SRW. If you can find one that is within spec's for the 5th wheel you plan to pull no problem.
Agree. Our fifth wheel's hitch weight was within the payload/rear axle capacity of our truck..........by design. Did not want a dual rear wheel truck, the SRW longbed is already like navigating the Queen Mary.
And, we never noticed any stability issues while towing.

Just saying.

It's hard to know that much about the stability difference unless you've towed the same 5er with both trucks. I have towed the same 5er with both trucks over the same mountainous terrain and the DRW truck offers a more stable towing experience.
If your 5er is only 12,000#, then in reality the SRW truck would be just fine...The dually has it's place and it's "normally" with towing heavier 5er's, but believe you would be surprised in the difference in stability between a SRW and DRW even with your 12,000# 5er.
I towed the same 9000# 5th wheel with a 04 2500HD and with the 05 3500DRW truck we have now. There is a differance even at that weight. If you think that you may ever want a bigger trailer get the DRW truck 1st or get one later. Your $$$, your choice.
