Another thing to consider is the fact that a heavier fiver WILL put a SRW truck over it's GVWR. Here in BC, DOT has been known to do roadside weight checks of RV's and they do enforce the GVWR of the truck. If you are over the GVWR of the truck, you drop the trailer on the side of the road, likely get a ticket, and can pick up your trailer from the towing compound with a truck that's rated for the load. I am well under the ratings of my truck and have nothing to worry about in this regard.
At the end of the day to each his own. I have owned both; my last two trucks have been duallies and I will own one as long as I have a heavy fiver. I noticed a considerable difference when I upgraded to one.
