i have a srw and haul a cattle trailer on a daily basis and have never had any proablems

 

I have had single wheels and pull good but compared to a dually the is no contest. the dually I have is a overkill for what I do BUT when I need the extra stability it sure is nice. As the you already know and the other people have already said you could get by with a single wheel but you want to have the extra feel of stability then you might as well just stick with what you know works

 

I went from a SRW to DRW and I'm pulling the same trailer and load. I did that for the extra stability of the dually. I'm glad I switched, much more stable. I wouldn't down size if it were me.

 

I have a 2004.5 3500 4x4 SRW 6-speed and pull a 24' Pace with my race car inside, never had an issue stability wise and enjoy the ease of driving it daily if I want, compared to trying to park a dually in these cramped spaces we have now days.

 

I have a 32' Titan Classic livestock trailer with tripels and I have towed with it loaded a few times with my 05 F-350 single rear wheel and it really is to much for the SRW. 24' a SRW will work but you get to a 30' You can fit 15, 1200 pound cows in there thats 18000 pounds not counting the trailer.

 

This is my first dually. I must say its road manners are top notch. I seriously forget there is a trailer behind me on the road. All my single wheel trucks really feel the road abuse towards the trailer and it feeds into the truck.

I love my dually and wouldn't tow with anything else.

 

Well i want to thank all of you for your posts. I think i am gunna stick with the dually. I just can't justify myself to buy a single and than regret it. thanks again for all of you guy's input, it was greatly appreciated!!!!!

 

Have you ever looked at different insurance rates between 2500 and 3500.
Correct my if I'm wrong, but you can get a single 3500 also.

 

I already own a one ton dually, and the truck i replace it with will be a one ton also weather it be a single or drw, a 2500 is not even a factor. I was just wondering about the stability of a single wheel because i have never pulled with one before. If my load never shifted (i haul cattle quite often) i wouldn't have as big of an issue with thinking about buying a single, but since the load shifts, stability is a big factor and i think the dually is the way to go again.

thanks again, Adam

 

My previous truck was a 97 3/4T CTD and I bought this 03 mainly for the QC, CR engine, 6spd and the 4.10. I could have stayed with srw but this 03 happened to be a drw. I got used to city driving and there's no way I'd go back to srw now unless I got a lot lighter rv. Friends that went to drw just for pulling TT's say the same thing - it's like night and day! Craig
