Dual Rear or Single Rear Wheels on Tow Truck?
Hi, I'm starting to research Trucks that are suitable for a TV. I've read the the HUGE discussion on Diesel vs gas so lets not go there! :-) This question is: Do I need Dual wheels or single ...

LOTS of things to consider- payloads and weight ratings, etc. If you truely dont want to outgrow the truck, look at the largest FW you would want now, and then buy a TV to match that. It may be overkill until you get that FW, but you will not have to worry about being too small when you buy the FW.
I ordered my Voltage, and then realized the truck I had wasn't going to cut it, because I didnt do enough homework, and fell into the "a 1 ton can tow anything" trap. When I finally sat down and worked the numbers, the (older-2000 MY) 1 ton wasnt rated high enough to tow my Voltage empty, and had to scramble to find a more suitable TV. That was how I ended up with my F450.
If the TV will also be a daily driver, that will factor in a lot as well. You need to WANT to drive your TV as a daily driver, and if you're not comfortable, it sort of defeats the purpose!
