A good companion to this video might be a discussion of the advantages of fifth wheel vs bumper pull.
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
Nice job. You know more than most of the dealers..lol
Hell Dealers just want a sale, Never met a salesmen that really knew what they we're talking about .
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.
One of the best auto reviews I have watched. You really thought of everything
Consistently good information from a true truck guy. Your videos are fun to watch and always well done.
Fantastic video!!! Thanks for the in depth explanation of the differences between the F250 and F350!
Man this was good. Well laid out and educational. Well done. One of ur best videos to date.
And not bias.
Wow, this video is packed with a lot of excellent information! Thanks so much!
This was excellent and answered the question I just asked you in the video I watched a few minutes ago. Thx, M
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.
Very informative, glad to see someone that knows what they are talking about making videos.
Very informative you answered all the questions that I was wondering about. Thank you for taking the time.
Best video I have ever seen on the subject. Excellent. Thank you.
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.
Great comparison of single vs dually rear wheels!
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
I just love how the f350 drw looks. stance and design is better looking. Its my dream truck.
Best video describing the difference. Ever.
Wow, excellent info and so easily absorbed. The amazing shots of your stock is total eye candy to f-truck lovers too, keep the vids coming 😊.
That explains it very well. Thank you 👍
Thank you for a very informative and clear video!
You by far have the most informative channel out there anywhere. Thanks so much
Simple and understandable! Thank you for sharing.
Exactly the detailed information I needed! Thank you so much, my friend!
I love your videos!!! They're all very informational!! Thanks and I'm always looking forward to the next one!!
Neenah Lor thank you
Best video i have seen on here that explains the differences , nice work
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.
Thanks for the video! It was very informative. Keep up the good work
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.
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.
Very informative. Thank You very much for your efforts.
WOW! What an eye opener. Great informative video. I am now subscribing. This video has certainly kept me from heading in the wrong direction.
You answered my question in the first few minutes of the video, thanks. Great video.
Well that was thorough! A few things I hadn't thought of, thanks!
Great Video I'm getting ready to buy a 5th wheel and I wanted to know the pros/cons of a dually. To the point and very informative. Now I know that I need a dually. Thanks.
Excellent video pointing out the differences. Thanks!
I learned alot! Thank you for all of your videos!!
Thanks man! Very informative. Keep up with the great work!
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.
great video, alot of great info. for when I start looking at trucks to pull a travel trailer
Thank you for your hard work. Greatly appreciated.
Always great videos, thanks again!
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.
All dually pick-ups look like an after thought , look like they they are thrown together on a weekend with scrounged parts
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
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
Puke
Those big ugly water drop sides are haggard and bulgy... look like granny panties on a truck
Incredible video, thank you, this is a work of art, I have research so much and no one can tell me these types of benefits of a Dooley.
As always i enjoyed your knowledge on the product
Wow, the information in this video is great.
One of the best vids I've seen from the subscription RUclipsrs! I'm not a pickup truck guy but your explanations were all very easy to understand. Great channel!
Michael Godsey: thank you for the kind words sir
Very informative, thanks for making this video
This is great info. I had to go with a dually fit pulling a 36 foot tt
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!
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"
👍 Very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you for the video it helped me decide which way to go for my next truck.
wibotheyes open: glad to help
thank you for the very helpful information
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.
Farmall 560 diesel: no problem. hopefully this helps
Thank You Very Much for your informative, detail video. I learned a lot.
Great video. Anyone considering pulling an rv should watch this.
great video, very informative. If i had the money a dually for me .
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.
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.
The salespeople are now hired to selling abilihty not knowlage of product. Not critical selling cars but heavey trucks is so much different
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.
@@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?
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.
very very well informed, short and to the point, great presentation, from New Zealand mate thanks.
earl klugh : Thank you!
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.
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
Just brought a dually thanks for the video
Your videos are done very well. Good quality info
Just subbed. I've been trying to research this information, and here you made it so much easier to understand the why.
Silver Streak's Garage: glad I could be of assistance. thanks for subscribing
You have a good channel, found your channel while watching truck & towing capability videos. You've got a new subscriber.
You make GREAT Vidoes,, Thank You Very Much
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.
Very informative, thanks for posting.
Trevor Burton: no problem
Great video and info, you should do one on Ram and Chevy/GMC as well.
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.
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.
Very informative! Thanks!
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 RUclips 7.3 materials before tackling the big girl!!
Oh yeah. You got you a “ big booty judy.”
Excellent video. Excellent information clearly stated.
thanks, great info.
Great video. Thankyou !
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.
Excellent video. Thank you
Such an excellent and very informative video!
Very informative thank you
great info.. excellent delivery of information
Exactly the info we needed-thanks!
Excellent video! Thank you.
Great presentation. Thanks.
Definitely helped me out here, thanks
I'm not in the market for a travel trailer but I still found this video very informative.
Great, well done
Whenever I think about dailies I can't help but wonder how much of an advantage a dually would have over a single rear wheel but with that single rear wheel moved out to dually width.
Great info. Another advantage of a dually is in the unfortunate event of a rear blowout at highway speeds. It happened to me pulling my 5th wheel across Nebraska at 70mph. I wouldn't want to be in a SRW truck when that happens. I went from a extended cab F250 to a CC F350 dually and it was a world of difference towing.
I'm shocked at how many short bed SRW trucks I see pulling big 5'rs. I'm not that brave...
Thanks for the great videos!
great video, thank you!
Great video as are all your videos. Very detailed and informative.
I have 2016 F250 powerstroke 4 door crew cab with 6'9" bed. Suspension is all original. As you stated it sits almost level...almost no rake. My issue is the truck squats with even with my weight distribution setup... which is properly setup. My tongue weight is about is about 11-1200 lbs. The 2" additional rake on the F350 would eliminate the squatting issue.
I read a Ford Technical Service Bulletin in regard to customers concern over their 3/4 ton squatting with a light load. Ford stated that in addition to the other pieces parts that the driveshaft also needs to be changed...u joints...I'm guessing a dealership would charge at least $1,500 to update.
I really don't get the infatuation with a 3/4 ton powerstroke sitting level...obviously its only of few us who want to actually load the bed/tongue. I didn't realize the difference when I bought my new 2016 "last years model" in 2017.
My last F250 was in back in '86...all pickups had a rake.
If I change to the F350 Blocks/Ubolts etc. my concern is the pinion angle.
Will it change?
I realize airbags would solve my issue...I'm a "keep it simple" type person and would prefer to switch the blocks. Thank you or anyone else for any feedback
great advice and video. excess capacity to me equates to extra safety and extended life of the tow vehicle. not to mention less stress. white-knuckled towing is not fun. people buy trucks wanting to know what they can pull when they really need to be concerned about what they can stop.
Nice video. Helped me a lot!
I had to get the sub frame replaced on my trailer to get it to ride level behind my Dodge 3500 it is so tall. Not a big lift but probably 4 inches, which brought the back bumper up about 8 inches. It was about a $2000 touch. They basically just replaced the existing 2 inch sub frame with a 6 inch sub frame but even with just that they thought it wise to add cross supports. So far it looks good except the bottom step can be a bit much especially if I have to block up that side of the trailer to get it level. Rides nice and level on the road now.
Im on my 3rd Ford dualy truck. I honestly don't tow a lot to justify having it but when I do its normally pretty heavy (15k+) but they handle great and I don't ever see myself with out one. Only downsides to a dually is cost of plates,You have to buy two more tires,and you can't rotate them unless you have them remounted.
Very informative, Now Im buying a Duelly !!!!
Wilfreddompierre: Glad I could help!
I own both a F-250 Superduty and a F-350 Dually and have found over the years that I much prefer regular bumper pull travel trailers to 5th wheels. Lots of newer travel trailers such as the 2016 we bought sit lots higher for ground clearance than trailers did years ago and I find that trailer matches up to my F-250 with 35 inch tires better. I also use the F-250 to pull my gooseneck trailer with max weight loads more often than the dually. I havn't found sway with the 250 to be a problem at all. A very large travel trailer with lots of wind catching area might be a different story but I haul a full sized backhoe on the gooseneck. My dually was bought strictly for payload and has a crane permanently mounted on it. I tried to see if the dually matched up with our new travel trailer & the dually really sits too low. I just use the dually to haul the 45 foot crane around. My dually has a custom 12 foot long flatbed so very long wheelbase. My F-250 is crewcab w/ 6" bed. Stability has been great with both.
Thanks for excellent info. I would like to say that payload is payload and no air bag nor beefy springs will change that.
Great video!
Wonder Whats Next: Thanks!
Great information!
Great information. Thank you for your great videos. Looking for a truck to pull a Jayco 5th wheel..You convinced me to buy a Dually. I was considering single wheel, on the fence and that would of worked however Like you said, extra stability and payload with the Dually. And to add, extra peace of mind and also a little extra walking is good for the heart often when parking the beast. :) :)
I’m going to be buying a 5th wheel toy hauler and am definitely going to be buying a dually now. I usually park to the back of the lot to avoid door dings, so that’s my plan for parking too.
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???!!!
