Having been on several La Peñita Caravans since 2005, I will tell you that duel wheels whether on a pickup or a motor home count as TWO axles and cost more. We have compared costs with those with duallys.
Yes, duallys do count as 2 axles, but a dually is classed as a camion (truck) while a SRW is classed as an automovil (car). That's why a dually has to drive on the laterals in PV while a SRW can drive on the main lanes. You can easily check out the costs yourself here : Toll calculator
A DRW (2 axles) plus a trailer ( 2 axles) = Camion 4 ejes
Going Stan's route from Sonoyta to Guayabitos produces the following results:
Car alone......1258 pesos
Car with 2 axle trailer..... 2516 pesos
SRW pickup .....1258 pesos
DRW truck (camion 2 ejes)......2030 pesos
DRW truck with 2 axle trailer(4 axles) ....2167 pesos
So, a DRW with 2 axle trailer is 2167 pesos while a SRW with 2 axle trailer is 2516 pesos.
I've checked this many times, and am so sure I'm correct that I PM'd my good friend Stan to wager a cool cerveza on this.:)
