DRW vs SRW safety, tire blowout
Every time the DRW vs SRW debate starts up, dually owners always point to the safety of having 4 rear wheels in case of a blowout while driving. What I am wondering is has anyone actually experienced ...

I agree. There are a lot of variables outside of number of rear wheels that will impact the safety. You can build out almost any SRW 1T to carry near to what a DRW will, but $$$. If you get a DRW that carries TC well in stock configuration, that is likely the most cost effective solution. I still see a lot of DRW owners doing suspension upgrades which leads me to conclude that the handling of a stock DRW with a TC may not be fantastic (albeit safe from a payload standpoint). Again, I imagine it depends on the exact truck + camper combo and the preferences of the driver.

Any advantage of DRW trucks regarding blowouts can’t be discussed in a vacuum IMO. The extra cost, lower MPG, width inconvenience etc. need to be factored into the discussion. But if you need the weight carrying availability, discussion over.
