Those of you who are pulling Mobil Suites, what is you choice of tow vehicle ? From what I have seen ( I will admit I've only seen a few ) it seems F550, or Freightliner seems common.
Point being, are these trailers a bit much for the typical one ton dually, or will a F350 work okay and not be over limit on rear axle rating ?
Our 36 SB3 MS and 2011 HD Longhorn 3500 Dually weigh over 28K, the truck handles the load with ease.
The entire length of I-5 the slowest we hit is 55 mph.
In 40+ mph winds the truck and trailer are rock solid.
Thanks. That is good info there, because as a for instance, that would be overweight for our 2006 F350 dually ( 23,500 GCWR )
As someone else pointed out, the newer one ton duallies have higher limits.
Thanks again for real world numbers.
