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!

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
