Pickup truck tow vehicle stability tests
Always lots of anecdotal statements on rv.net around dual wheel vs single rear wheel "stability". Anyone have any links that point to actual testing results under controlled conditions?

Op are you just trying to justify a SRW when you think a DRW may be the proper choice?
IMHO notice OPINION!!!
A Dually will be much more stable when road, traffic and weather conditions are not the norm.
Traveling along with friends westbound on I-10 Palm Springs to Phoenix staying ahead of a bad storm winds were hitting us on the side at about 45 mph. The friends were in their 40'MH when we stopped in GoodYear he asked how my rig handled as he said he was fighting his the whole way and looked worn out. i told him it was Rock solid and it was a very relaxing drive.
Westbound on I-40 headwinds at 40 or more towing at 75mph rock solid.
I knew towing our MobileSuites with a Dually would be nice but it exceeded my expectations by a mile.
I don't need no stinking study to tell me what I know from EXPERIENCE!
All JMHO.
Sorry dude but I call BS on this. My DD is a DRW 2wd and a 45 mph side wind will have me all over the road. My Vette gets blown around.:S
