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. Read on to learn more about dually vs. non-dually and the models you can find at Badger Truck & Auto Group!
Dually vs. Non-Dually Truck: How Do They Compare?
Dually Pickup Trucks
Benefits:
- Strong towing and payload capabilities
- Greater stability during towing and hauling
- Ideal for fifth-wheel trailers or loads non-dually trucks can’t haul
What to Consider:
- Fuel economy is usually lower than non-dually trucks
- May be more challenging to park and maneuver on Chicago roads
- Higher purchase price
Non-Dually Pickup Trucks
Benefits:
- More cost-effective than dually trucks
- Higher fuel economy
- Still ideal for towing, assuming you’re towing lighter loads
- Easier to handle
What to Consider:
- Somewhat weaker than dually trucks in terms of towing and hauling
- Less safe than dually trucks in the event of a tire blowout
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.
What are Some Examples of Dually Trucks?
If you’re shopping for a dually pickup, you have a handful of capable models from which to choose:
- Ram 3500 HD Dually — maximum towing capacity is one of the segment’s highest – 32,500 pounds (with the turbo-diesel engine)
