My experience is with a 2012 f350 with just over 3500 lbs. ccc. On the scales I was just over truck GVWR by 200 and roughly the same on ccc and 500 over on GCVWR. The rear axle has 6700 with a rgawr of 7000 and pin weight of 3400. My unit is about 1’ longer than the 377. We have loaded light and put all heavy gear in back of camper to reduce pin weight. I think this has contributed to the tail wagging the dog some. The 377 storage is up front so more is applied to pin. You may look at rawr. My rear axle weight is 3300.
We wanted to try towing for a year and see if we were comfortable. After a year of towing I have had a couple of white knuckle experiences. 99.9% of the miles were very comfortable and all on flat terrain. The .1% has convinced me to go with a DRW.
Also to keep weight down our kids have drivers license and always went separate. The DRW solves that problem.
Can the truck tow it ? Yes. It is the operators decision on how much to push the limits.
Can a DRW have a white knuckle experience? Yes but chances are decreased.
Good luck. This kind of stuff can make you loose sleep or it did me.
