A good companion to this video might be a discussion of the advantages of fifth wheel vs bumper pull.

[@KP-qb3mw]

Traded in a 2011 F350 Dually for a 2019 F350 SRW. Towing a 35’ Fifth wheel. Can definitely feel the difference in stability. SRW still feels safe, but the dually felt like it was glued to the road. We only went to the SRW because we have an annual site and only tow the camper twice a year. It’s also nice to be able to go through a car wash. LOL

[@portersteel32]

Nice job. You know more than most of the dealers..lol

[@guyrankin7992]

Hell Dealers just want a sale, Never met a salesmen that really knew what they we're talking about .

[@arethouready]

One of the best auto reviews I have watched. You really thought of everything

[@jeffclark5024]

I love my old dually. I didn’t always need it but it sure has been an absolute workhorse. Lots of times it’s been loaded down heavy and it sure does ride nice and stable with heavy payloads and heavy trailers. An added bonus is you have 2 spare tires back there. You could get 2 flat tires in the rear and still make it home or pull one off the rear to put in the front if need be.

[@AlicesWondereland]

Best video describing the difference. Ever.

[@dthomas2047]

Consistently good information from a true truck guy. Your videos are fun to watch and always well done.

[@chadbassmaster9084]

Man this was good. Well laid out and educational. Well done. One of ur best videos to date.

[@yogitango]

And not bias.

[@myemail2005]

Fantastic video!!! Thanks for the in depth explanation of the differences between the F250 and F350!

[@jackiefreeman8239]

Great comparison of single vs dually rear wheels!

[@jasonman1515]

I just love how the f350 drw looks. stance and design is better looking. Its my dream truck.

[@TheSoloAsylum]

I currently tow a 13K LB 5th wheel with my single rear F350. It hauls it without issue. However after hitting a chunk of something that blew into my lane cutting a tire at 70 MPH I am now considering the duel rear truck for the stability alone. I don't need more weight capacity, I need more control stopping in a hurry...lesson learned.

[@Kraigthecanadian]

TheSoloAsylum yah specs are hardly worth looking at anymore they are so crazy that unless your pulling on pretty flat roads you should never be at rating the practicality of the handling is far more realistic as with the new diesels sure you can pull the moon but can you control the load in a emergency situation

[@maryl2305]

This was excellent and answered the question I just asked you in the video I watched a few minutes ago. Thx, M

[@N8-T]

Very informative, glad to see someone that knows what they are talking about making videos.

[@beammeup8654]

Thank you for a VERY informative video. I was leaning toward a dually, but your video helped me eliminate my doubts. And confirm what I suspected. Thanks!!!! When I go truck shopping, I know where to begin.

[@AutoTechWorld_DIY]

That explains it very well. Thank you 👍

[@markjones8424]

Simple and understandable! Thank you for sharing.

[@CritterFritter]

Wow, this video is packed with a lot of excellent information! Thanks so much!

[@hdlowrider5413]

Best video I have ever seen on the subject. Excellent. Thank you.

[@mshipley3232]

You by far have the most informative channel out there anywhere. Thanks so much

[@BlackLocustPatriot]

Thank you for a very informative and clear video!

[@vicwiseman6038]

Excellent video pointing out the differences. Thanks!

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

Because of the off road performance challenges that a dually faces, we have been interested in the "super single" modification that promises all of the hauling capacity of a dually along with the traction advantages of a single rear wheel drive. We want the off-road performance along with the narrower stance that allows access to narrower dirt roads. That extra 2 feet of width is big when it comes to accessing remote camp sites. Love to hear you compare the payload differences between these in real life scenarios. A super single rear end along with a big Host camper would be an elk hunting dream camp.

[@pentonhusqvarna]

Well that was thorough! A few things I hadn't thought of, thanks!

[@mrRickywayne54]

Best video i have seen on here that explains the differences , nice work

[@FixItNick]

Just picked up a project for my channel 2001 7.3 6 speed dually 4x4 135k Miles for $5700 so excited!!! Catching up on some KZbin 7.3 materials before tackling the big girl!!

[@Cake41579]

Oh yeah. You got you a “ big booty judy.”

[@sawituptx]

Very informative you answered all the questions that I was wondering about. Thank you for taking the time.

[@jasonmayne1]

Thank you for making this video - I'm getting ready to buy a 5th wheel, and this is the most informative, logical video I've found yet. Didn't realize the bed differences like at 8:51. Definitely getting a dually now. Very helpful info. v/r, Jason

[@billjenkins687]

Very informative. Thank You very much for your efforts.

[@koolry22]

I won't be able to afford a pickup truck in the near future but I love how informative your videos are! Please keep up the great work and quality that comes with these videos.

[@tidalview1]

You answered my question in the first few minutes of the video, thanks. Great video.

[@neenahlor17]

I love your videos!!! They're all very informational!! Thanks and I'm always looking forward to the next one!!

[@9carcottrell246]

Neenah Lor thank you

[@justinmoore6162]

Hate those Ford dually flares. Makes duallys look like an afterthought. Love how Ram does it by making a whole new bed for duallys having it flow from cab to bumper.

[@wirdremloo9102]

All dually pick-ups look like an after thought , look like they they are thrown together on a weekend with scrounged parts

[@nicholascardenas1791]

Ford's flares are the best mechanically speaking since you'd just have a replace the fender when damaged compared to extensive body work or whole bed replacement on dodge or GM. Ford makes a lot of parts interchangeable between Super Duties

[@Tukin15sLike20s]

Blow a tire on a Dodge and replace the entire bed side and I bet you change your mind lol And fyi I own a Dodge

[@heshhunter349]

[@johndeere8824]

Those big ugly water drop sides are haggard and bulgy... look like granny panties on a truck

[@ivopsilva]

Thanks man! Very informative. Keep up with the great work!

[@i39440]

I learned alot! Thank you for all of your videos!!

[@sirkingdra]

That was a very well detailed and very well illustrated video. I try and tell all the 1/2 ton guys on forums & FB groups about why a 1 ton Crew Cab, Long Bed is always the better choice overall for any sort of towing application and they all get pissy because they think their glorified 1/2 ton can pull a freight train without any issue. I personally would never go back to anything smaller than a full 1 ton truck. I personally own a 2001 F350 Crew Cab, Long Bed SRW 4WD and I love it. If I ever did buy a replacement truck I always would consider buying a dually F350 solely due to the added weight, GVWR capacity increase, and the overall added stability they give. Very well done video, keep up the terrific work.

[@Freakingstang]

sirkingdra I was one of those guys for a long time. I grew up In the times of carb’d big block 3/4 tons and 1 tons and 6-8mpg. Early 2000’s gas half tons offered greater towing capacities than most of the 80-90’s 3/4 tons with 2-3 times the fuel economy. They also have their time and place. Not everyone needs a 1 ton dually diesel. After getting a diesel, I’ll never go back. Lol.

[@marvinmann2711]

I'm not in the market for a travel trailer but I still found this video very informative.

WOW! What an eye opener. Great informative video. I am now subscribing. This video has certainly kept me from heading in the wrong direction.

[@toddrobbins311]

GREAT video. So tired of hearing all the "know-it-alls" on many Facebook RV pages saying people don't need a dually to haul a 43' toyhauler through the mountains, etc.

[@djjamar]

Just brought a dually thanks for the video

[@lovingatlanta]

👍 Very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you.

[@09turbodiesel]

Good video thanks for doing it. Years ago before I got my F250, I was speaking to a guy that lifts trucks. He showed me 2 f250 that were 4X4 the spring on the back of them. One had 4 and the other had 5 springs. He said he never knows how many springs are going to be on the back of them. Same year one was XLT the other was a Lariat. Both crew cabs same year both Diesel. He said Ford is known for this, he also stated Dodge, Ram also do it. He said GM also did it but not as much. Just passing this on to you. Enjoy your videos.

[@appliancerepairshorts]

As always i enjoyed your knowledge on the product

[@Chiefboxer]

Nice video. Helped me a lot!

[@MrTPF1]

I've asked several dealers what the mechanical differences are between single/dually, and 150/250/350 or 1500/2500/3500 are, and could not get a satisfactory answer. Excellent video.

[@pnachtwey]

I am in the market for a 1 ton dually to haul a truck camper that could weigh 5500 lb fully loaded. The dealer know nothing about hauling campers nor do they sell 1 ton pickups for hauling campers. Right now my first choice is a RAM 3500 big horn dually with air suspension. I don't need a diesel to haul 5500 lbs but 1 Ton gassers are as rate as unicorns. The diesel option costs a lot more and is a hassle to maintain.

[@jar407]

The salespeople are now hired to selling abilihty not knowlage of product. Not critical selling cars but heavey trucks is so much different

[@pnachtwey]

They can't sell anything to me if they can't find the answers. I don't want to buy a truck and find out it won't haul the trucker camper. I have found out that I need to special order what I want but no one can tell me how much it can carry so I haven't bought anything. i can wait until someone can tell me what a RAM Bighorn crew 8ft Diesel DRW with air suspension an 68rfe will haul. Still waiting.

[@Turin-Fett]

@@pnachtwey You're a dork. Do you get up and storm out of the restaurant when the waitress can't tell you how much cheese is on the lasagna?

[@mr.butterworth4216]

Pepr - This is a matter of paying a lot of money for the right machine for ones needs or not, not a matter of what cheese is in the lasagna.

[@jeremymcclanahan2389]

great info.. excellent delivery of information

I do Enjoy your videos. I have a 13 Ram 3500 Mega Cab Dually. So I get to enjoy both worlds of a dually and short bed with the truck still being longer than a crew short bed truck.

[@ChristopherCookLife]

Great information!

[@KevinBjurman]

I have towed my fifth wheel with both dual and single wheeled trucks. I agree on all the points made about the increased stability and safety of towing with the dually. I still use my dually every time I tow my fifth wheel. I would add that one of the major inconveniences is keeping up with the rear tire pressure , as it is not obvious by sight when one tire is low, as the other tire maintains most of the load. Also, even though I installed a hose hit, its more difficult to get a tire guage and air chuck onto the rear tire valve stems. Tire replacement costs of the tires are also higher, replacing 6 instead of 4.

[@OpenAirAdventure]

I put a fifthwheel hitch in my 16 f150 , reason being is my 250 was in the shop and we were heading out for a short vacation. It's under 9000 lbs , I am very impressed with how the truck performed . I can't say one negative thing to be honest.

[@supporterofsanity]

Good Job!

[@zates2272]

Thanks great info

[@daveosland3199]

Good video!- The brakes are generally different too, especially between one and 3/4 ton trucks. ever notice how many duallys have cracked or damaged wheel well fenders???!!! Dave

[@TrashPanda5150]

1/2 ton trucks are great for all-around light duty work trucks, towing a smallish boat, jet ski, etc. Also people get them just to dress them up and such. You get a 3/4 or 1 ton for real hauling. I believe 3/4 tons are best suited for plowing and hauling medium and up loads. I have an '03 Ram 3/4 ton crew with the 6.5 bed and it has the towing and plow packages. The plow setup gives it the beefed up frontend so it actually sits tall and level for the weight of a plow. My truck would be a pain to try to pull a 5th wheel or gooseneck because it sits very high, even all stock, I mean it dwarfs many 1/2 ton trucks. I got it for pulling a 7x12 tandem axle enclosed trailer and in the near future, a 20-some foot travel trailer. It is perfect for those duties! Awesome vid, very informative!

[@ReptilesRewind]

msmith5150 my dodge is set up the same way. sits way higher than the other guys when you're talking about stock trucks. everyone assumes it's lifted-- even a Dodge mechanic said it was lifted, and I was like, "nope stock man"

[@farmall560diesel7]

We have a 2000 f250 with the 5.4 motor and it's a super cab 6.5 ft bed. One time we were going down the free way on a breezy day with our stock trailer, and the sway was so bad you could barely keep the thing on the road. I keep on trying to convince my parents to get a longer truck to reduce sway and be able to fit more in the bed. Thanks for the videos they are very informative and I enjoy them alot.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Farmall 560 diesel: no problem. hopefully this helps

[@ripplecutbuddha]

I have an old 99 Chevy C3500 Crew Cab dually, and I'm really glad I have it. Mostly because I know the truck is up for whatever I can throw at it. It was a bit of an education learning to handle a larger truck like that, coming from an Olds Alero as a previous vehicle, but I don't think I'll ever go back to cars. Trucks suck the fuel for sure, but their utility, and the versatility of the truck I own offsets that pretty well. Great videos, keep 'em coming.
