Duallys are terrible on snow and ice. This I didn't know. I would assume with 4 rather than 2 tires on the ground that a dually would be that much better for snow and ice. Not so? Although I didn't tell him that I am planning on a 4x4 dually, and possibly that makes a difference.
That statement is correct (no comment on the other "facts")
That is the same reason why any pickup handles snow/ice better with weight in the bed- weight per tire surface area. The more weight a tire can push down into the slippery stuff, the better. A dually places (approximately) 1/2 the amount of weight per tire that a SRW does.
But having a 4x4 dually, especially with weight in the bed, would be better than a 4x2 dually.
M&S rated tires will also be a benefit.
BTW, we live in northern New Hampshire so we know slippery stuff.
