Do you feel in control?
I'll be shocked if anyone who is currently towing over their ratings admits to not feeling in control (regardless of what they actually feel). You'll get a lot of folks saying, "tows just fine" and "barely know it's back there".
You'll get a handful of responses saying they used to pull with a 2500 or SWR or whatever and upgraded to a dually and claim a "night and day difference".
And you'll get a few of us who have only pulled with a dually telling you we can't imagine towing with less.

5 pages and so far I've been right. :D
I didn't call out the bickering between the groups. These threads always bring that out in folks!
Guess I fall into the group that HAS towed the same 5er with both SRW and then Dually, BUT, never stated, difference was "night and day", but have stated, based on towing on mountainous, curvy roads, I could tell a difference in stability of the towing experience. Towing same 5er seemed to be a more stable tow...but I rarely tow on "Level" ground, so I'm basing again, on mountainous, curvy roads.
Try hwy 10 coming into Palm Springs where all the wind mills are! You will love the stability of your Dually there.
