Yeah, they've been beat to death! The long and the short of it is a DRW will be a little more stable but a SRW 2500 like the OP is inquiring about will certainly handle the task he's outlined.
Yet this thread will turn into the typical DWR/SRW thread even though the OP isn't asking about DRW trucks. :rolleyes: :bsflag: Old topic--new thread. That boat/setup has to be over 14K lbs. loaded, then fuel, water, beer, coolers, tools, parts, etc. etc. |

Depends on the capacity of the truck; and if you want to tow legally.
Old topic--new thread. That boat/setup has to be over 14K lbs. loaded, then fuel, water, beer, coolers, tools, parts, etc. etc. Formula: 10,450 Steel trailer: 2,500 Half tank gas: 600 Total 13,550 How much does your cooler weigh? I can usually carry mine with one hand.....30lbs? Tool box? 30lbs? |
towing 382
I have a 382 with genset and steel trailer. Weighs about 15,000. I had a 2007 F-250 and decided I needed a dually. I have a 2011 F-350 with the new motor and it pulls it fine. I feel better about the dual rear wheels in terms of stability and stopping the thing, took. Hope this helps.

I think you might have just taked me into upgrading my trailer brakes to the same rather than fixing my surge/drums.

i'm still baffled as to how you pull your rig with the diesel ram 2500 especially with a steel trailer, big blower motors, and #6 drives. what do you figure everything weighs?
http://www.timbren.com/ses-kits.htm The only issue I have is with the brakes, the trailer brakes really need to be redone and I'll have those address before boating season. Other than that, the engine pulls is it fine and there's no wondering or other handling issues. What's it weigh? Don't know... |
Extra batteries, wire, amps, speakers, (magnets & boxes), all that stuff adds up, and adds up fast.
You CANNOT guess as your boat's weight. Run it across a scale and I guarantee it's more than you expect. |

Depending on the ramps you frequent, I'd say electric brakes are a must as well. Having brakes while backing down a steep ramp with that kind of weight is priceless. Before I added electric brakes, my rig would drag my F350 down the ramp. |
