Re: [RC] truck lengths - Susan Garlinghouse, DVMI have a 2WD dually and used it to pull a 40' GN LQ trailer with no problems. On the highway, stable as all get out, even in a high crosswind. However, after moving to Colorado, I sure got a wake-up call about traction. Even after loading a ton of gravel into the bed and putting on studded tires, that sucker ice skates in snow and ice. Driving sideways down the interstate loses its charm in a hurry, lemme tell ya. I bought a Subaru Outback AWD that sticks to the road like velcro no matter WHAT the conditions and the dually stays parked in the driveway until spring.

I do hwever wish that it was a 4x4 model because it does tend to get stuck easy. I currently use it to haul a 35 foot, six horse, with living quarters, all made with steel. I also use it to haul a ton of horse feed every two weeks. I can't use anything smaller. If you are planning to do a lot of heavy moving, there is nothing better than the big trucks. If not, a 3/4 ton 4x4 would be a better truck, both for a more comfortable ride and better gas mileage.
