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 to clarify, you have towed the same load with a SRW?"
If I did the 5K pin would pop the rear tires!
I have towed a properly setup SRW and 5er combo and it was night and day difference.
Also I rolled over with a properly equipped SRW towing a trailer and later towed the same rig with a Dually without and sway control and it was rock solid.
When traveling West on I-10 where the windmills are with the SRW I could feel the wind whenever it was blowing. With the Dually I rarely feel the wind there I have to look at the foliage along the road to see if it is windy.
