Who has driven SRW VS DRW In Snow

We AVERAGE 120" of snow a year here. I had an '08 2500 Duramax SRW and now an '11 3500 DRW. Both were 4x4 and drove the same in the snow. 2500 had a cap for weight. Leave firewood or other such in the DRW for weight & have had no problems. Just my experience.

Very good point, same as mine...couldn't really tell any difference between the two and it appears, instead of an "overwhelming majority" saying DRW are worse in the snow than a SRW truck, those that have driven both in some ugly weather see no difference....I've done some major "sliding" in the snow and ice with SRW trucks as well as dually's...no difference there either:B.

though, "urban legend" seems to be the rule with a Dually not being able to go in the snow as well as a SRW truck, it appears on ALL the threads that have been brought up on these forums on this topic, that the "myth" has basically been debunked by the majority of posters....at least, doing a search on it on this forum as well as "thedieselplace" and the cummins forums....you get the same information...some feel that SRW are better, but normally the "majority" seem to KNOW, FROM EXPERIENCE, that there really isn't much of a difference...and this from posters all over the United States as well as Canada, and some post stating the dually does fine in what some would deem as places that get a lot of snow, thus, experience, in this case DOES speak volumes.

As stated by another, I surely wouldn't rule out purchasing a dually because one has "heard" that they don't do well in the snow....if one uses some common sense when driving in the snow, has the right tires, maybe even add a little weight in the rear,(I've even put added weight in the bed of SRW trucks also to help with traction in the snow)....the dually does as well as a SRW truck....been my experience as well as quite a few others in here it appears.....:)
