Bout had my AZZ handed to me coming down from Twenty Nine Palms into Desert Hot Springs, cA with my SRW. Had a strong gust hit me sideways and knocked me into oncoming traffic going down 6%. Thankfully no one was coming up.
I have been in far worse weather with current and last DRW and never felt unsafe as I certainly was with the SRW that was within it's capacity.
However, do not forget that you have towed heavy with your son's newest gen SRW and spoke highly of its capability. There is no comparison between the towing ability of the 2nd gen RAM's and the later new frame 4th gen RAM's.
Just saying!

His is a 3500 and I was comparing his with an AISIN with 3.42's how well it took off on grade with it's lower starting gears.
I do know the newer trucks are more capable but there is simply no comparison to having more mass on the ground when towing a long, wide and high profile trailer. I'm not talking simply pulling as they all can do that, i'm talking handling the load when CHIT happens.
