Jim is providing the braking force based upon whether or not you have a single or dual rear wheel truck and your axle weight ratings.

I had a Dodge dually (gas V10) when I had a 28' Sunline trailer. Yes, it was more truck than I needed for that trailer but....it was so nice and stable. And it was always nice to now that if you had a blowout on a rear tire, there was another one beside it.
In my mind, if towing a heavier 5th wheel trailer, go for the dually. As a daily driver, you do have to watch out for the added width, but for most situations, it's not a problem. I wouldn't be to fond of doing day after day in a large, narrow road metropolitan area.

I've had SRW and DRW. DRW will always be better towing The stability is night and day. Add in loose a tire on a DRW and you still have one to keep a catastrophic event from happening. Here's an added benefit that I have witnessed with mine. if one of the rear wheel gets a leak like a nail or something, the other one holds enough weight off it that it only leaks down to about 40 psi. I've had a couple of nails and never had a tire leak lower than 40.

Im trying to figure out what went into those numbers. Psi for contact patch? I mean i get that you did something with the gaw, but what?
Nevermind, i just had to reread to remember what i was asking. Im asking why you are referring to those numbers as "braking performance" numbers. I mean, whats the purpose behind these numbers youve come up with? I mean on most trucks it has nothing or very little to do with braking.

Numbers purpose ?? See Nlambert reply below.
A vehicle mfg axle rating has all to do with the minimum size of brakes on a vehicle.
