Single Rear Wheel vs Dually - Whats the Best for You

Here I am hoping to save up for a new F150 someday

I get in my LongHorn DRW and I constantly think and tell my wife how much I LOVE my Truck. Sure it may be EASIER to drive a SRW when it comes to finding a parking spot. That is really the only minor negative for me. I simply look for an end spot and pull up on the curb or park out and take two.

OK, so here is my go to parking position with my DRW at Costco and other locations. Notice I have the "courtesy" B&W hide a ball so no one bangs their legs! Notice I am NOT hanging way over the sidewalk???

Have I mentioned I LOVE my DRW???

So in summary, many of you definitely prefer a SRW— as in one single wheel front and back. ;)

Well, I prefer a DRW, but I have an older truck and a heavy fifth wheel. It does tend to give one a bit of a feeling of security, having that second wheel on each side. But I've never had a flat, so that could be a wash. But the truck handles well so I'm happy.

I was referring to your photos with only 1 wheel in the center of the back.

Ah, gotcha. Doh, a little slow on the uptake. LOL

Same back at you Jerry.

I don't know if being 70 qualifies me as being a kid though. LOL But, truth be told, that picture was taken about 5 years ago. :) And Peggy is super, I can hardly tell she's back there.

Mind over age Howard, the picture of you two tells the story. Had a Grand Daughter on back, when daughter took our pic, that she later posted on Facebook, caption said "Dad will always be a kid"

Happy Holidays to you and Peggy!

Some of those Harley's can hustle though, a lot depends on the rider. There's a guy who rides a GoldWing through the Gap, and man-oh-man, he can put almost any sport bike to shame. Of course he's spent a couple thousand dollars on suspension modifications. :) And he's one heck of a rider, lives in the area and rides it all the time.
