The newer trucks can be close if not more to their DRW towing capacity. I was at a truck stop a month ago towing my triple axle 5th wheel and an older gentleman driving a dually with a double axle 5th wheel pulled up to the pump next to me. He thought I should have a dually and being a previous dually owner I told him I didn’t notice any difference in my SRW and my dually. He left the conversation wanting to look at newer SRW trucks. So do what’s comfortable to you.

Weight police silenced...about what? From the gitgo it was said it appeared the OPs rig was probably OK (please note my post #2). His initial post was about a rig for his brother with a 2500 and a Montana which generated a considerable amount of conversation.
Newer vs older units and trucks have nothing to do with weights, weights are what they are and numbers/specs are what they are. Some folks don't care. That's fine but encouraging others to be unsafe is not in their welfare, oh, and you still haven't posted those scale weights. For reference for the OP - note comments by this poster;
