Towing Heavy 5er with SRW Truck

actually 3/4 and 1 ton trucks are referred to as HD trucks and our Freightliner Sportchassis is referred to as a Medium Duty truck .... go figure ??? .... the reason we moved from our 3500 to the Sportchassis had nothing to do with power .... the Chevy performed well towing our current camper with a golf cart on a trailer behind the 5er from coast to coast and border to border .... the reason was ride .... the air suspension and air ride seats in the Sportchassis absorb the pounding our bodies used to absorb from bouncing down the road .... interestingly enough, in the area of turning radius of our Sportchassis is much less than the 3500 dually .... the only times I know of where a dually is superior to a single rear wheel is in payload and as you have noted, some degree of stability .... in your bio you show Asheville, my birthplace and home for 25 years is 50 miles west of you in Sylva so I do have a good idea about the roads to which your refer .... the current generation of 1 ton trucks provide me with all of the payload capacity I need and degree of stability I'm comfortable with .... that said, its irrelevant to anyone else .... each person needs to go with the tow vehicle they are the most comfortable with
