Flatbedded all my life but sold my bigrig end of 2022. Now considering hotshot. Is there any real advantage to a dually that would make it better than a srw 1 ton? If I can make the same money i prefer a single rear wheel .

To me toter trucks are far better than A dually for a number of reasons. But my preference doesn't sit with everyone. So if you could find on cool. If not ram 5500.
1999 C12 Thanks this. -
This truck is just for personal use but I prefer it in most cases over our 2015 Ram dually....
Tires last much longer, proper jakes, mostly off the shelf parts etc... with a C12 and 13 speed it gets really good fuel economy. We only pull light loads (Skid steers, 5 ton mini-excavators etc)
I fabricated a 1" thick bumper pull hitch plate, 1999 factory single axle, diff lock, 4.30 ratio (a lot of steep mountain passes here)
If staying with a pickup style truck I would far prefer the dual rear wheel version...
