Biggest problem like stated by some is the rears will never be on track that the front has made, unless you single it out in winter. Lots of guys around here do it, but it's so funny looking I don't.
I'd rather have SRW in winter, but it's not that big of a deal with 4WD and and plenty of weight over the rear axle. It just handles differently and you get use to it.
pretty much nailed it, as I too stated, add a little extra weight over the rear axle....it it's your daily driver and you've done it for years and years, it's something you get use to doing...
Short version, just ditto to what they said for my experience.
Had both SRW and dually diesels for years, dually started with my 2003 Chevy. Lived in northern North Dakota since 1988 (until move south recently).
All were 4 X 4 vehicles. The dually surely does need some weight over the rear axle to help in snow. I've pulled into places with deep snow during blizzards with my dually in two wheel drive. Come out and try to drive off and I am stuck. So hit the 4 X 4 switch and away I go.
Other than stopping in 2WD and having to switch to 4 X 4 to move again in deep snow, never had any problems handling with dually in ice or snow. Drove slower, always according to road conditions and not the posted speed limits.
