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?

Don't know if you could get more basic or simpler than that Rick:B
ON EDIT: BUT..if the legs on the wider table are weaker than the one on the narrower table...it would...uh, never mind:)
Very simple page... but unless you guys all drive around with your inside tires in the air it doesn't apply.
Where does the truck pivot? The springs, which are the same width SRW to DRW. Increased spring rate, higher on a loaded DRW than a loaded SRW, is a big increase in stability.
...and as you can see Ben, it was STILL questioned....so even the dumbing down doesn't seem to help much......too simple evidently.....
as stated also, common sense isn't very common anymore.....
