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?

If you folks only insist on personal experience...then I'm one who has both on
one singular vehicle...my 1996 Suburban
I drive HARD
The difference with trying to drift with the OEM wheels (narrower or OEM track...AKA Width)
vs the wider after market (approx 10.5" wider than track) is NIGHT AND DAY
NOT a dualy, but single
Again on the exact same vehicle, on the exact same roads
On narrower track...the Sub leans much more (less than most half tons...even
when they have rear anti-lean bars) and slides much sooner (lower speed and less
angle of attack on the curve)
There is a difference in tires though...wider track is with the Revo's and
the narrower track are with the T/A KM2's
