How Wide is a Dually? Always Need Dually Jacks?
Wondering if you can just squeeze by without the swing-outs. Are duallies all the same width no matter what brand or year? Thanks.
Forum Discussion
I drive Ford Trucks for almost 20 years and don't take anything for granted.
Whatever you call F450 - I was loading 10,000lb on flatbed with no problem. (as long as I could load heavier side behind the cabin).
Had F350 dually, who was sold as C&C and that monster had suspension as beefy as F450.
When I was ordering new 2017 F350 dually for my 6500 lb camper- everybody on this forum was telling me that I will need to add suspension modification.
Turn out new truck have lighter rear, what adds about 400lb cargo capacity and not sure if the suspension is beefed up, but the truck carries the camper perfectly and I did not hesitate to follow semi-truck at 80mph.
That saves over 10% on fuel consumption, but the air turbulence makes it white knuckle driving.
Main misconception is taking the registration ratings as vehicle ratings and regardless constant reminder on forum - owners take the taxable rating for physical rating.
My new house is taxable at 1/3 of its actual value.
