OP the top pic is why you want a dually for the rigs you'll be towing. Stability in the rain and high winds...priceless.

I'm a Dodge Boy so I say get the '11 Laramie dually.

To Catmando You are so right about a dually in high winds, I was going across New Mexico to Desert Storm last yr with approx 40mph cross winds. 34' Kachina hanging off the back of my chevy & never missed a beat

Should that be a seperate topic in the uncensored section. I guess he will not have to worry about getting hair stuck in his mouth.

Yeah, especially when I wasn't driving it or even taking the picture! I had to fly home from Florida for work and my friends were driving it home! Glad THEY had my dually!

There you go. It's better to have a dually when you need it than not have it.

BTW what do you think of your Kachina? Is it the green one Powerboat mag tested? I guess you know about Metal Bros Racing and his problems with the factory?

That dually axle may have saved not only your rig but their lives in that storm. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing!
