After daily driving white long bed crew cab 4x4 diesel duallies for 20 years now I'm downsizing on tow vehicle.
i may be losing a bit on towing confidence going to SRW short bed but excited about parking inside heated garage going forward!

"Nice" David ... are you going to shorten the bed ... or notch the door?

Looks good, just need to move those cabinets and it'll fit in there. I'm super jealous of that, I've currently got an oversized 2 car garage that I couldn't fit a motorcycle in...

Having made that same switch from long bed dually to short bed SRW the difference isn't as bad as you think it will be, it's not the same but not bad considering the amount of time you're towing vs just driving. The biggest difference will be those tires vs tires designed for towing.

Reconfigured those cabinets and got it inside!
6 inches to spare at both ends to boot!
Im looking forward to seeing how it tows the skater after having a dually all of these years.
Ive got 445 hp, 910 lbs of torque, 373 differential.
Srw, short bed and 6"+ lift though, should be interesting.
i will not miss feathering around freeway ramps when pavement is wet, squeezing through toll booths, or navigating narrow roads at night with fellow mototorists texting

David, your new SRW truck will pull your Skater just fine. I pulled Steves' 36 up and down the east coast with no problems with a 2500HD. The tongue weight will need to be addressed as Steves' 36 wanted to have one inch of exposed bunk at the transom to be perfectly balanced. Every trailer setup is different, but these are fun problems that are easy to solve. Enjoy the new truck.
