I have pulled campers out of the factories for 3.5 years now and put over 500k miles on my 3/4 ton truck. Most people who haul Campers are retirees.
I would say its about 50/50 in the industry DRW/SRW. I do have an aftermarket hitch but the majority use stock. I carry multiple ball mount hitches to adjust for different trailer heights. Most I have seen just use one WDH, and never adjust it. Those that pull severely nose down I see as a lawsuit waiting to happen. A car could go right under the trailer.
Now my tires last over 100k miles. Compared to others in the industry who by the cheapest the can find.
Those you see speeding down the road are either beginners in the industry or their dealership employees. Vehicles wont last long driven like that. Not much money to be made driving fast. Most people who haul own the truck and are only payed for a successfully delivered non-damaged trailer.
