Any bigger and I would want a dually pickup! jfmoots • View posts Marysville, Ohio Senior Member Joined: 04/03/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 06/10/10 07:57pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Too big for a SRW 2500. Probably too big for a SRW 3500. That's a lot of weight in the bed of a truck.

Better question would be, can I stop 14100#'s in an emergency with a 2007 Dodge 2500 6.7 ? I think that going down a 6% mountain grade with that rig would be a white knuckle ride.

I just switched trailers and now I've a bit more pin weight. My weights are in line with your proposed weights and I'm considering going back to a dually. both braking and towing are fine with the combo as is but I like the dually for the long distance trips.

If it is GVWR, you'll be fine. If it is empty weight, you'll be too heavy. As stated by Chris on the first page, the only difference between a Dodge 2500 and 3500 SRW is one more rear spring pack. Add airbags, and you have the same thing. 2010 Cougar 322QBS 5er 2007 Dodge 3500 SRW Megacab, 4x4, 5.9L Cummins, 3.73, 48RE auto HYPERTECH MAX ENERGY Scangauge2 for Boost, Coolant temp, & Trans Temp PICS Previous: 2002 Dodge 2500 4x4, Quadcab, 3.55, 47RE, 5.9L Cummins (Edge EZ and RV275s) This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 4   Prev  |  Next Open Roads Forum  >  Fifth-Wheels  > My turn to ask.
