Re: [A/S] Tow vehicle buying services

I have a dually, a 2003 Dodge diesel 3500 long bed.

I hate parking it in a crowded parking lot, but otherwise it is the
_ideal_ two vehicle. When I first put it on the road with my 34 FT AS
and my reese hitch, I was amazed at the stability - apparently the
extra four tire sidewalls add enough stiffness to make it ride as if
the whole rig was on rails.

I have used many different tow vehicles in over 40 years of towing
travel trailers, and this one is the best ever.

Don't know if the tow capacity is actually lower - I think I have not
heard that before. Maybe lower by the amount of the weight of the extra wheels?
