Well, we finally decided to bite the bullet and replace our SRW F-350 with a DRW. We had just purchased the 2016 SRW 4 months before we decided to trade our 2002 travel trailer and upgrade to a Big Country 4010. I thought we would be okay with the SRW because we had plenty of horses and were a little under the maximum towing capacity.
We towed the BC about 3000 so far this year with the SRW, but if there was a cross wind I was always a little up tight as I knew the trailer was pushing us around. The kicker was when I finally took the rig over a CAT scale and discovered the weight on the rear axle was 600 pounds over the max. So, it was time to start looking. Fortunately, it was good timing with all of the incentives out there right now.
So, below is a picture of our original tow rig and the new one that we picked up last night.

The SRW had Firestone air bags and I think the DRW will be getting them soon.
