RE: [RC] [RC] Hey One Tonners (I mean your truck, not YOU) - ll cole

In addition to the cons you listed, add a decrease in fuel mileage of .5 - 1.0 mpg. That said, we have two dually pickups and feel that pulling a three horse slant with a cabover camper, a dually extended cab is the way to go. We just traded our 1 ton SRW Chevy and it did an acceptable job but it always felt a little top heavy especially in our Kansas winds.

Happy Hunting. Barry Cole, Kansas.

Hi to all of you not at convention...: - (
We currently pull our 3H 10' LQ trailer with an 4x4
F250 Powerstroke. Power-wise all's fine, and 'Blue'
has served us well for 10 years, but after crossing
Wolf Creek pass in southern CO a couple times last
year, hubby said he really would like to have the
bigger brakes of a 1 ton. Soo...even though we're
still in the fantasy stage, we're hoping to get
a 1 ton in the next year, probably a 4x2, and
absolutely a diesel. Which leads me to my question. I
know a few of the 'cons' of a dually (more tires,
harder to find a parking spot), but for those of you
who have hauled with both a dually and a regular 1
ton, do you feel it's worth those cons to have a
dually? What we're looking for is a significant
improvement in stability, safety and ride comfort (for
horses and us). What say you, knowledgeable ones?

Life's a journey, so enjoy the ride (and try not to fall off)
