Dually or SRW?
 

I like to hear some opinions on the ride and towing differences between DRW and SRW trucks.

I like the looks of the SRW's better. Towing the boat I have now wouldn't be an issue (24 Superboat) but I am probably going to upgrade soon. :D

I have a 10K+ lb. camper too. I keep it at the marina I put in at. When I bought it I didn't plan on travelling anywhere with it but now I may change my mind.

I would say SRW for your application. The DRW trucks are nice but unless you have a 5th wheel you are overkill. They fit better in society also, nothing like getting trapped in a parking lot and having to back out ( yes I did this).

I've had both, SRW will do all you need.

Go for a 2500HD Duramax/Allison package. When it comes time for more capacity, you will get all you need with a pair of rear airbags installed. $300 bucks at Outlaw Motorsports in Culpeper. I recommend them on every truck. I love mine, and will have them on every truck I own. They give you the extra capacity, and sway control that DRW gives you, just about everything except the extra rubber on the road.

I have 1000lb. airbags on my 2500 Avalanche, and some might consider it a 1 ton now. :D :D

I currently have a chevy 3500 diesel DRW and love it. Its great towing the boat all over and is very comfy. Im thinking of selling it for the exact reason that its a tough every day truck to be driving around town. So, Im considering a SRW short bed as well. 2500 HD or F250

I havent decided yet

good topic

Well you obviously have seen what I drive and pull the boat with. Unless I plan to start doing some more long distance hauling I'm staying with the SRW. Plus I drive it to work every day.
What ever happened with your truck ???

Truck with the old boat. The new boat is even bigger.

are you directing that ?? towards me??

if so, I dont think I know who you are:confused: :confused:

I drive a drw as my daily driver. The rides's not bad. Long wheelbase tends to smooth things out. You get used to the width. Only problem is parking. I got an extended cab instead of a crew cab because it's shorter and easier to park.

NOPE

To the Thread starter Dave M. We are at the same marina

SRW F250/F350
 

Both trucks being 4x4 crew cab short bed, what is the bennefit of the F350 over the F250?
