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?

IMO: The extra weight of the DRW fighting the FW helped break the hitch sooner than the width keeping the truck upright. I also feel the kingpin was defective or worn for that separation to have happened.
So just how much extra does a DRW weigh than a SRW, 200# 250# maybe 500# spacers on the front, heaver wheels, unless Aluminum.
Is a DRW more stable that a SRW, it is basic physics! Wider stance, and far more tire capacity. :S
