Just got home from a weekend trip with my unit. We traveled during high cross winds and I don't think I could have been more relaxed. I agree the stability thing is way over rated. The dually advantage is greater pin weight capability and it may save a few dollars on the purchase price. The SRW gets better mileage, is more maneuverable, gets better winter traction and it may make the difference as to whether or not it will fit in your garage. At about 3500 lbs pin weight you are forced to look at the dually with the new trucks.
