I did have a rear tire blowout, no wreck occurred but it did wipe out the bed of the truck. I also towed the same unit with a 2017 F-350 SRW and a 2016 F-350 SRW trucks and they towed it better than my old truck. Now the big difference between all of the trucks. The DRW truck is by far more stable in all driving conditions, extreme winds, corners, mountain passes and even some emergency evasive maneuvers like wildlife suddenly appearing in front of you or idiots who you have to share the roads with. All the trucks had the power to tow it especially the newer ones. As for actually following the axle weight ratings it was probably over on all of them except the dually. For the old truck I was over on the rear axle and the GCVWR. It is a shame that some company didn’t offer a comparison drive for all the prospective buyers that would let you drive through some tight twisty steep mountain pass with the same trailer and a 3/4 & 1 ton SRW trucks verse the DRW trucks. There really is no comparison between them except in what the human mind justifies to make yourself feel better. Bottom line, get what you think will work for the job you intend it to do. Sorry to ramble on but these truck posts just seem to never end.
