What is a Dually Truck?

If a truck is “dually,” it means it has dual rear wheels on either side. These trucks are geared toward the heavy-duty side of performance and are often referred to as “one-ton” pickups, as they can typically haul over 2,000 pounds in their beds and tow campers, trailers, and more. Usually, they’re equipped with upgraded brakes, springs, and shocks for greater stopping power and a sure-footed grip.

Dually vs. Non-Dually Truck: How Do They Compare?

What is a Dually Truck Good For?

Dually trucks almost always house the most powerful engines offered by the manufacturer, as they’re built to haul and tow with their higher than average rear axle ratios. Many of the trailers dually trucks tow  can weigh as much as 20,000 pounds or more. Because of their strength, dually pickup trucks have a lot of uses — from construction to hauling heavy equipment and machinery to agriculture. There are virtually no limits to how dually trucks can be used on the job site.
