Trucks are way too expensive to buy a truck and hope it works!:S.
I don't believe everyone needs a dually. I do believe additional margin/capacity is a good thing.
Hoping it works is a worst case scenario, One must do enough homework
to know the truck will do the job.
Buying the right truck on the 2nd go around is always a costly mistake.
Hence why I do not trust tow specs from manufactures. Even the new everybody is supposed to meet tow specs, are too easy to meet in some ways. A min 12%grade pull in first gear! I can name multiple roads steeper than this that one would stall out on! Min speed of 40mph on a 5% freeway grade, 35moh if over 15000gvwr truck. Some on here would poop bricks going that slow. If I can't go up a 30% grade and start on a 30% grade I poop bricks.
Know what ratings mean, how they effect you, and reduce accordingly!
