No, I was wrong. It's the number of axle-ends (left/right) times the number that are driven. So an Army Deuce and a Half with 10 wheels was still a 6x6. So, your dually would still be a 4x4. The number of wheels is irrelevant. (Made me go back to the books, er, uh, Google.) ;)

What I always wondered is why a 4x4 with duallies is still called "four wheel drive" when clearly there are six wheels being driven. I guess maybe the number of wheels is also irrelevant for the number of "wheel drive" designation?
I guess I own, for street legal vehicles, a 4x2 (with two driven wheels), a 4x2 (with four driven wheels), and a 2x1 (with one driven wheel, but around twice as many gear ratios as the other two put together).
