Okay... Okay.. Okay... don't eat me alive, PLEASE! Just so you know I am a woman that is not "mechanically minded" :)
Question.. I see that everyone and I do mean everyone says, dually, dually, dually.. But why? What does a dually do with the same engine that a single rear wheeled truck with the same engine does not?
I have a single rear wheel 2012 Duramax 2500 and a 2009 F-550 that is a dually but I just haven't found the information that tells me the difference. I want to pull the toy hauler with the 2012 Duramax but like I said, everyone says dually is the way to go.
Please advise...
The suspension / brakes / stability / axle can be a huge difference....... If you could pull the TH with either you can see real quickly why the duelly.
Its kind of like trying to pull a huge trailer with my Mustang or a truck that have the same 351 Cu In. motor LOL
Not saying your 2012 won't do it just (need to check your load ratings) it is just the duelly is more (More is better)
