SRW vs DRW
Is there a general rule regarding how much weight is okay for SRW and how much is too much? We are thinking of a larger 5er and not sure how much larger will require a new truck too.

Here is some real numbers for a 2017 F350 SRW.
GRAWR...... 7230 lbs.
Unladen rear axle... 3470 lbs
Unladen front axle... 4850 lbs
GVWR.... 11500
According to these weights and based on a 20% pin weight my truck can tow:
Based of GVWR:
Pin weight can be 3180 lbs
So Gross trailer could be
15900 lbs based on a 20% pin.
Based off GRAWR:
Pin weight could be... 3760
Gross trailer weight could be
18800 lbs.
Agreed, BUT...... Bottom line is what does your LOADED rear axle weigh??? Big AZZ tool box or the 80+ Gallon fuel tank or all the stuff loaded in the back seat and bed.
This guy thought he was jUST FINE. Basically had 6,200# or so capacity on those 17's. Asked if he had ever weighed his rig, looked at me with the why would I do that look. I politely said you may want to do that.
