Stability
I have a Dodge 2500, and pull my Grand Design Solitude. I know I am pushing the limits of the 2500, and have been worried about high wind conditions. Today, we left PA, heading South, back home on I 8...

I appreciate your comments on Black ice, however with temps hovering between 9 and 14 I don't think black ice would be an issue. Also, in 50 plus years of driving, I have always tried to stay within 10 MPH of the prevailing traffic. I.e. Speed limit 65, majority of cars/trucks going 70, I would not drive less than 60.
I believe, the DRW stability is phycological. I have never had an issue passing, or being passed by trucks. I related my experience because it was the most cross winds I have ever felt towing my 5th wheel! The performance of my 2500 Dodge was far above what I was expecting, yes I have read all the "DRW stability posts" and was expecting a white knuckle experience, but was pleasantly surprised.
Drive a dually you will experience the difference. It is not psychological.
Dually drivers are not brainwashed!
The wider stance and additional rubber on the road makes a difference simple physics it's not psycho magic!
