dually or no dually this is the questin

I run two 2500-250 FWD's doing farm deliveries normally 10-30 miles. Some times they are heavy on the drives and or the trailer but I try to avoid that. I run those myself not over 50 MPH with the major concern of stopping if someone pulls out in front of me. Second concern is blowing a rear single. But they do good in the mud. You probably want to add air bags to make up for lack of springs. Had a man pick up a horse trailer and carried it 700 miles to factory for warranty repair. He showed up with a single wheel F350 and I questioned him about that. He told me he runs over sized Nitto's and this truck was his living, no problems. Still like dually for the highway.

dually problem solved slightly less on the rear drive axle than a dually but still substantially more than what a standard 10 ply will handle

 

#### the bigger tires and all the other crap, duals is the only way to go. Yeah there are lots of people out there doing it. They are the ones I am having to swerve away from when someone breaks wind. Loaded heavy they tend to get what I call tire roll. Add in some ruts with the wind and someone hauling one of those BIG RVs and you have someone that cannot maintain their lane in a 25 mph wind. To me, it is more about the stability of the platform than the capacity.

 

Dually is the only way to go for any distance with a lot of weight.

 

We run a 3/4 for loads up to 12k, and a dually up to 16k. If you're doing a lot of light loads, single works fine.
