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?

Just as I stated on page 1, lots of opinions, but in the end that is all it will be, personal opinions with no facts proven by testing to back it up. Except it is up to 5 pages now.
So. I will give my opinion. I have pulled a 35' high profile 5er for 8 yrs, first with a 2007 F350 SRW and now with a 2012 F350 SRW. Stability is not an issue, even on winding mountain passes and very high cross winds across the plains. Would a DRW be more stable? Possibly. Is stability a problem on the SRW? Absolutely not.
Three reasons to buy a DRW;
1. because the pin weight requires it,
2. because you just really want one,
3. becauee someone convinced you that you will be all over the road without one.
