    All else being the same (2011 Dodge 3500, diesel, 4 door, long box) would a SRW be handicapping myself vs a dually as far as capability, stability, durability?

    Thanks

    Yes, hotshot. I have a 94 c3500 drw diesel and single car trailer now both of which I want to upgrade over the next year. Buying myself a new career. Thanks for the input. My instincts were telling me to stay with DRW but the dam temptation.

    yup, definitely before you begin you will need a newer truck and bigger trailer.

    i actually prefer a SRW in snow and ice, then the rear wheels track, duallys are horrible in those situations.
