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!

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.



Can't even feel the Cig behind us
