Im looking at a new bumper pull camper that weighs about 7k. Additionally I plan on hauling 2 motorbikes in the bed, so will be getting a longbox.

I've got a regular cab dually now but will be upgrading to a 4 door soon. I found a nice SRW 3500 longbox, but want to make sure it will do the job for towing. I plan on keeping this truck for a long time so need to make the right decision. It'll be used mainly for towing & general hauling duties.

I would say you'd be ok, with E rated tires. But dually's are inherently more stable in any kind of towing though.

dually

 

I wish I would of bought a DRW just for the few times I am real heavy

 

i tow my 30' toyhauler(10k) and a 70 gallon water tank in the bed......runs fine with my airbags

 

Thats pretty much what I figured. I love driving a dually, but if I was also searching for a SRW it would open up a lot more potential trucks.
Does the jump from short box to long box make any difference in towing capacity?

a dually will keep your rear end from moving as much in a crosswind. you'll uasaully find drw cheaper then srw because more people want srw

 

i should have mentioned it earlier, while my setup works well if i did do it over again i woulda probably went DRW. but i purchased the camper long after i got my SRW and couldnt afford to change trucks to. just food for thought
