All I can say is, once you've owned a dually and towed with a dually, experienced the stability of a dually, it's pretty hard to ever go back to a single!
Nope, my 99 was the last and will be the last DRW I will ever own. It was not hard at all to go back to a single. I would rather decrease what I need to tow rather than buy another one. Luckily for me, my SRW tows my 14k 5ver just fine.
Imagine how silly it would sound if I raised the BS flag and posted telling you your SRW truck isn't capable of doing what you do with it on every trip. I could even claim that I've towed 5th wheels with many SRW trucks and they were all over the road, unstable and dangerous. :B
Gee, I wonder how my trailer makes it 160 miles to the coast each year if my truck wasn't capable.
If you towed many 5vers and were all over the road, then I would have to question your ability to properly load a trailer along with your claim that you 5.4L would only rev at 30% higher rpm than my diesel towing the same trailer.
There's the proper answer.
And I've owned four 5th wheels and towed them all with SRW trucks. Two with gas engines. We made it to our destinations every time.
I never said anything about your diesel.
Never said your truck wasn't capable and this it cannot do it......eventually. I just said that the statement you made that your 5.4L SD will tow what a diesel can tow at only 30% more is a load of crock.
