Re: SRW vs DRW
I will never owe another SRW. I only owe a 30' Baja OL and as I travel to SO CA to Havasu often. Power wise and braking my 03 Chevy 2500HD with Duramax pulled it fine. The greatest benifit with my 07 Chevy DRW is when caught in those desert wind storms. The stability is unbeatable. the truck doesn't sway and feel lite. The truck keeps striaght. Also I like that the rear end doesn't sag like my old 2500HD. I also like the idea if I ever get a rear tire blow out that I still have one tire to keep me straight. I have seen trucks that blow a tire out in the rear while towing especially speeds beyond 60MPH and it can cause you to loose your trailer and maybe the truck and everyone else in it. This is my 2 cents and I like to err on the side of safety.

It stops really well IMO. I don't think that Top Gun will weigh much more than my rig does. I make several trips that are 500 miles or more over the summer in 95 degree heat with no problems.
You're overweight and speeding. Not too smart.

Although a Frieghtliner would be damn nice, its just not feasable for me at this time.
Thanks!

So if I understand you correctly, you have never gone over the speed limit ?? Yeah right !!! I didn't say I run at those speeds all the time, I just said it is stable up to that speed. Also I am overweight by how much ?? You tell me by how much and I'll see if you are correct. Oh and by the way the stock hitch is in a garbage dump somewhere.

Re: SRW vs DRW
I had a F350 dually last year and a F250 this year. I have more stopping power with the F250. Both of them had 4wheel disks and pulling 16k 5thwheel trailer. It could just be the angle I have the trailer set at though. Anyways I recommend the dually just for the saftey aspect but you have less towing capacity with DRW.
