I know there are lots of guys on this forum that pull 40+ Ft boats with SRW and 1 Ton Duallys but I'm here to tell you 42 Ft with fuel and gear is pushing the limits of any 1 Ton truck. I have had many white nuckle moments with my 40 and my F350. I now use an F650. Night and day. It never struggles up hill and no burning brakes down hill. It's a pure pleaser to tow with and with the prices of new trucks closing in on 70K an F650, Kodiac or Freightliner Sport Chassis is not out of reach. Do it you'll never look back.

Srw or drw will both do the job and then some. The biggest thing is stopping and that's where dodge(as much as i hate to admit it) takes the cake with Jacobs offering a true overhead compression release "jake". I want one!
