Went from a 99 Tahoe with airbags and lots of mods to a 2000 F350 dually 7.3 diesel. I will NEVER tow my 7000 lb TT with the Tahoe again now. The stability of the dually allows me to tow with confidence, one hand on the wheel in the mountain curves, passing big rigs, and to really stir things up for you never over 65 crowd.......it handles great at 90 mph.
