I had 1,500 lbs more “capacity”, but the sag made me pause and wonder if the FX4 offroad package had more give than a standard model. I can almost picture a Tremor’s rear bumper hitting the ground with the same load. My biggest take-away from this is to get a set of airbags before I get a 5th wheel.
Both the 250 and 350 SRW models sit a good bit higher than my dually. Mine is a 4X4 (not FX4) but the suspension is nowhere near the same. I get very little sag even with the 18,000 Fuzion loaded on the back. I've been in rest areas and RV parks and see the SRW trucks looking like they're overloaded. But then, they probably are.....
