Default Re: Tow Truck 1/2 Ton?

There is a good reason why you see so many crew cab duallys at the races. It is not just about the towing capacity of the truck but also because of the tire side walls. With two E rated tires on the back of a dually the side walls don't flex as much and keep both the truck and trailer from swaying down the road especially in a strong crosswind and when big trucks pass. Also a small pickup has even smaller and lighter tires making the problem worse. Its not just about the truck being able to pull the load but also about being safe and comfortable driving down the road. I have had two duallys and would not tow a 10,000 lb+ trailer with anything smaller.
