Just curious for information. I wonder how many, if any, SRW trucks listed on this thread have exceeded the rear GAWR. The rear axle ratings on most SRW trucks are weak for many 5th wheel RVs.
I have heard that from duelly owners for 20 years.
And it gives them reasons to own one.
Most SRW axles are rated for way over the truck manufacture rating by the axle manufactures.
Never once did I see a floating axle fail.
Did see some broken axles on 1/2 tons but never floating axles.
The only time axles may fail is a 4 x 4 on low range 1st gear with the truck on a 45 degree hill. No one can do that with a 5th wheel hooked on. Most trailers are never towed on low range.
I do use it often because I have a 4 x 4 with manual transmission and manual transfer case with manual hubs. Same setup if I had a duelly.
The transmission will fail first as I have heard of more then one towing loaded semis with their 4 x 4 F250 and F350 dually. Here in this part of the country we have to work our trucks. They do leave the highways.
Trailers do not hurt and overload trucks when they are driven properly.
If the tires fit the SRW can tow it.
My take on this never ending subject.
