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?

Why my Suburban has -1.5" offset alloys....stock is +1.5", so the net for both
sides is an increase in track of 6"...plus that my rims are 10" with stock at 6.5"
Means another 3.5" wider track
Plus my tires are 10mm wider, so 10mm wider track
All adds up to about 10.5" wider than stock track, front and rear
A dually has an even wider track
It is not any one aspect, but all of them in concert that matters...AKA in context
If this guys car had a narrower track...think he could do this with the
exact same car?...or would he roll over?
This is part of what a dually does better than a single with a narrower
track...managing that 'push' and 'sway' from the trailerleanbar sidewall aspectratio track
What you failed to mention Ben is that car is going through the curve twice as fast as either a pick up with or without dual wheels.
