Runs good. Tows good. Been through two (unfortunately) emergency maneuver with it. Personally, still wouldn't want a DRW. Just my $0.02.

What does your TV rear axle weigh?
I just hope for your and others sake you don't blow a TV tire.
Dunno what his rear axle rating is, but I have the same truck ('05 3500 SRW, no big change in '06 that I know of) with 265 70R 17 tires (Load Range E, 3195lbs) on it and the rear axle weight rating is like 6300 lbs. When I had my fifth wheel, I (2450 loaded pin wt) very close to, but within the axle weight rating, and total combined gross weight was 20345 lbs.
