I towed a 38 Scarab from Toronto to Miami in the winter with a two wheel drive Chevy 1500 SS 454 short box with 4.10 gears when I was young and dumb

had to drag this one sydwayz LOL [ATTACH=CONFIG]523198[/ATTACH]

See, I like the equipment comparison on a 25'. So far, consensus is a 42 is max and well within towing capacity.

anything hitched up correctly (meaning WD hitch when required) that falls within factory indicated limitations/ratings. I would prefer 8' box once the boat is 38+

i towed a 40'x12' park model trailer with my swr 3/4 ton 4x4 gme suburban.. man what was i thinking,,a friend asked if i thought my truck could move it and like a dumbass i said yes...only towed it about 6 miles but when i was done i broke a leaf spring on the driverds side,,my rear suspension was on the rubber stops..pulled it fine but suspension wise was not so good..i think it weighed 20 k and i looked it up after the fact..never again..

So many variables like tongue weight, type of brakes, axles, tires, wheelbase.. you can`t just put a number on it.

Fu@& SRW , the two extra wheels add so much stability I was blown away. I would have never believed it till I did a side by side comparison .Now I have a bigger hard on for DRW than Longwayz!
:D

The Excursion is great but with the short wheel base mine was all over the road trying to pull my heavy 38. Sway city

I traded in a F350 dually diesel for the ram. I think the ram tows better than the Ford did, and I can fit through a freaking drive through! I pull the same trailer and machine.

I also pulled Jasons(rollwithit) boat, a 36 Baja, to Ft Lauderdale and Tampa the last few months and it pulled like a mule with no sway in the ass end. I really cant complain about a SRW truck pulling worse than a DRW.

With a newer good condition SRW Diesel equipped with air bags, upgraded wheels and tires that are rated to carry the load and a newer good condition properly equipped trailer that has EOH disc brakes on all 3 axles along with the proper hitch setup I would not hesitate to tow 20,000lbs Tag and 35,000lbs Gooseneck.

I personally have over 1.5 million safe miles between 5 SRW trucks, fully insured and DOT legal with a perfectly clean record.

2013 Cummins Ram manual transmission, Air bags, forged aluminum wheels, and upgraded tires rated to carry the load. Trailer has 6 EOH disc brakes.

I can feel mine moving a bit when I get to running 60mph or so.
