I`m waiting for the 4500/5500 guys to show up and say how dangerous it is to tow anything with the puny 3500 dually! LOL
a properly equipped 1500 at ???? % of max capacity is just as safe as a 2500/3500 at the same ???? % of max capacity.
That may be true, but it sure doesn't "feel" that way. I haven't ridden or driven in a lot of 1500's loaded heavy, but when I have, it sure feels less "secure" than a HD pickup loaded heavy. All that is really subjective, but given the choice of running a 1500 at 90% of capacity or a 3500 at 90% capacity, no question which one I would prefer to be in.
Then you haven’t been in the right trucks as you admitted. And it is subjective. Totally.
What happened here is one guy got whisky throttle in a srw truck (subjective) and put it off in the toolies and now swears by a dually. But he then loads the dually to its absolute max rated capacity and tells others their not safe doing the same thing.
