Truck payload ratings have gone up significantly over the last few years and SRWs can carry the pin weight of a 5er they could not back then.

I drove a DRW several days when looking to buy. It would be a daily driver far more than towing. Like you I did not like the inconveniences of it. Fortunately an SRW would handle my shorter Monte’s weight even back then. Many say the DRW is far more stable than an SRW. Stability with my SRW has never been an issue in high cross winds or trucks passing, or curvy mountain passes. Even when large MHs in front of me were having trouble staying in their lanes. I would not have a DRW unless we went to a heavier trailer that required it due to pin weight.
