IMHO DRW is never an overkill if you are towing something 13'3" tall. Most Montana RV are 16,000 GVWR. That's 3500-4000 on the axle of the truck. Luckily, I have a DRW with 6000 available on the rear axle. When you add the hitch, aux. fuel tank, Honda Generator, tool boxes, and ladder, I'm fine. However, I could not find a SRW that gave me any overhead.

And beside when I was in Texas, NM, Colorado, and Montana, I felt normal and could park upfront with the other Duallies instead of in the back with the other SRW
