I need the 3500drw for my trailer weight.
The 2500 crew cab 4x4 has a payload of 2,380lbs.
The 3500 crew cab 4x4 srw has a payload of 3,920lbs.
My trailer pin weight was 3,750lbs when loaded for a one week trip and probably would be even a bit more if we were going on a month long trip.
I would be way over weight with a 2500 and I know that some would say that I would be fine with the 3500srw but I would still be over the payload on it.
3500 srw payload: 3,920lbs
Tr. pin weight: -3,750lbs
leaves me: 170lbs of payload left for the hitch, my wife, myself, the dog etc.
This shows that I need a 3500drw.
