Dual rear wheel or single rear wheel?
Hello all!! Brand new here to the forum. I have just purchased and brought home our new 5th wheel(with a buddies truck)and I am getting mixed reviews on which setup to get. Our 5th wheel is a Palomi...

My point being just because numbers say one thing, your likely have your wife and/or kids in the truck when your towing so why would you ever want to take a chance?
More points to ponder.
As long as the truck is carrying weight under the trucks certified RAWR it is completely legal but more importantly he and his wife and kids and everyone on the highway is completely "SAFE". RAWR = the lessor of a vehicles tire/rear spring pack/wheels/brakes/axle rating
This subject get beaten to death quite often especially Fords F350 SRW with 13 different GVWR numbers for the same truck in many cases.
One example from several on Fords fleet specs sheets is a F350srw crew cab 6.7 diesel 4wd 176" wheelbase same options and packages same front and rear axle ratings and can have a 11500 gvwr or a 10000 gvwr. GVWR based payload stickers say;
10000 gvwr has a 2240 payload
11500 gvwr has a 3740 payload.
Both trucks are specked the same.....just a different gvwr sticker.
Main point is how silly the gvwr based yellow tire placard payload stickers are.
Just stay under axle/tire rating and we all will be safe.
