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?

I will say when I ride in my BIL RAM 3500 DRW without a trailer attached that thing beats the hell out of you it's so rough, and that speaks volumes why many don't want one as a daily unloaded driver.
Personally I would never purchase a camper that would require having a DRW truck simply because I wouldn't want to drive one as my daily driver.
JMHO...
Give me a break! He must be one of these guys that run 80 in all tires if what you are saying is true.
Our F350 KR longbed SRW 4X4 friends have ridden in my 11 RAM Dually and they were very impressed with the ride, and interior.
I don't know how much air pressure is in his tires and that sounds like a real pain to have to add air when towing and then deflate when not, but I do know it rides like hell and even he admits it. It's a 07 5.9 cummins truck with a Ranch Hand front bumper. The heavy front bumper actually made it ride a bit smoother. This truck pulls a very heavy cattle trailer and there's no way in hell we would be constantly adjusting air pressure. Unbelievable...!
Are you saying a 3500 DRW rides smoother than a SRW truck? And what relevance does the interior comment from your friend have to do with this stability discussion? Your starting to sound like a salesman. :W
