Buy what you want!
Like many of us old guys I've flat towed, used a stationwagon, 1/2 ton Chevy with a 350, 1 ton Ford diesel and two 1 ton Dodges. I prefer the Cummins in the Dodge mainly because that engine was designed, I prefer the dual wheels for stability and most important......I'm a Mopar guy. I travel alot between Fl and Tx and most of the HD trucks I see towing commercial loads have been mainly Dodges and Fords. Buy the truck you want because you'll never get a consensus from us. JimR

I have never towed an enclosed trailer with a single wheel truck, but I have talked to a few people who have. I have towed an open trailer with a Suburban though.
It seems to me that a dually would be a LOT more stable when towing. Especially when an 18 wheeler goes blowing by you at 80 MPH or taking a curve in windy conditions as Larry Hill pointed out or even going down a steep hill. I have always told myself if I'm going to tow something -- even a travel trailer, I'm going to be towing it with a dually. -Toby |

My wife's old '99 Lexus LS400 gets 28 at 80/85 MPH. I would expect a Jag to do that?

Bob...are you only interested in the V6 eco-boost? Thought I saw commercial about new 5.4 eco-boost as well which really intrigued me. Larger truck, good power, maybe slightly less mileage, but good compromise if fuel prices jump?
