Elite Veteran Posts: 784 Location: USA	you use to pull it? Thinking about getting a 4hrs with a 10-12ft LQ. Just curious how many pull with a single axel 1 ton vs a dually?

The Advice Guru Posts: 6419	I would go with a dually as the tires are only rated for certain weight. Also if you do blow a tire on the single axel you are screwed. I have a 4 horse with 10 foot LQ when I am fully loaded, I am just legal with a dually 3500.

Elite Veteran Posts: 600 Location: Oklahoma & Texas	I would think has to be a dually on one that long...i have single rear wheels on my f250 and there's no way I'd pull one that big..i pull a 3 h with 8 ft sw and loaded up its at the higher end of its range for safely pulling

Ms. Poutability Posts: 2362 Location: In my own world	I have a 3H 13ft sw 4star(it's heavy) that I was pulling with a 3500 dually. After 4000 miles I was already seeing wear on my front tires. I upgraded to a Dodge 4500. Best idea ever

Elite Veteran Posts: 1066	We have a 3 H with 8 ft short wall and I wouldn't even feel comfortable pulling it (or rather trying to stop it in a hurry) fully loaded with a single axle.

Accident Prone Posts: 22277 Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR	Excuse me for for this... We are not talking about single or double AXLES, we're talking about single rear wheel vs double rear wheels. SRW/DRW. Double rear axle would be like a full sized Freightliner.

	I have a 4 horse with a 13 ft. LQ....my husband would never allow me to pull it with anything less than a 1 ton dually...it's not the pulling, it's the stopping that he's concerned with.

Accident Prone Posts: 22277 Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR	BH USA, the heavier pin weights on horse trailers are designed that way for a reason. They are WAY more stable than an RV, which is very important when pulling live weight.
