You have to be aware of other factors, especially if you're pulling a tag trailer....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwOqARlw1EI&list=PL498CA39227F5E6B8

sorry but that was wind, why would you mention a drw? could have been hooked to a tractor or a tank still would have blown over. they werent going very fast. driver should have pulled over somewhere like an overpass or did something. not sure if you were just implying a haha in your face drw thing or what?

Looked to me those drws kept the truck from flipping over too. after he changed his pants he could have drove away in that chevy.

DRW isn't always the only answer.... | Good Sam Community

If the wind was THAT strong (and it obviously was!), I very much doubt that a WD hitch would have made a bit of difference!
The winds between Big Timber and Livingston, MT, on I90 often blow 80,000 lb semis over. An RV doesn't stand a chance, even if it has the most expensive high-tech hitch available!

Put a locking rear end under that and you can no longer steer!!

Sweet looking rig though!

The man that started building ford trucks with the extra axles from Minn. was in an rv park down the street from us. His was black and towed a LONG 4 axle Teton. It was fun to look at.

I can tell you from personal experience if it was a single rear wheel truck it would be on it's side or rolled over like mine did.

Been around the block once or twice. But i have to agree the dually is still on its wheels, a SRW would probably have been on its side as well.

Looks like he was traveling slow due to conditions. Sometimes things just happen, no matter what you do. Of course, a Ford would never have had a problem... :)
