I believe what you want to hear is, "oh yeah you can tow that". You can do all the what ifs you want, the bottom line is after you spend all this money is your family and the people around you going to be SAFE?
I'm really just trying to understand why my truck isn't safe but a dually is. It would be different if I were driving a 2500. The only difference in my truck and a dually are the wheels/ tires. Right? So I just don't understand why replacing the wheels / tires doesn't do the trick. Why does everyone keep saying to buy a 3500 dually?
Of course I want my family and the people around me to be safe.. that's a given..
Two 'E' rated tires with a 3400# load rating equals 6800# of capacity
Four of the same 'E' rated tires with 2700# load rating (dually) equals 10800# of capacity (4000# more)
You don't have to buy a dually..but you should reconsider buying a LESS heavy 5th wheel.
One that is more in line with what your SRW truck can actually handle in the real world vs the magical marketing world of truck mfgs.
