Good call not getting a dually.
He wasn't able to get the SRW truck completely in the guest parking space anyway.

Mine is 8500 pounds and 4x4. I don't notice snow ruts much.
I do notice a complete absence of sway when I am towing though.

09-14-2015 12:36 PMThat's cause you get no snow, (in comparison), so there are no big ruts.
Holland Mi
In December, one in four years totals 33 inches or more of snow.
In January, fresh snowfall in the heaviest years amounts to over 31.4 inches.
In February over 26.4 inches in heavy snowfall years.
Toledo Ohio
In December, one in four years totals ten or more inches of snow.
In January, fresh snowfall in the heaviest years amounts to over 18.3 inches.
In February over 14.2 inches in heavy snowfall years.Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

09-14-2015 07:48 PMHeck, you only average 3 days per year where you get 3" of snow or more. That's not a rut, that's a dusting!!! We have more days than that where we get over 5" of snow on average......

I'm not going to argue with a guy and his internet searches about my own weather. I know how much snow we've had in recent years.
If you use the truck for snow, great.
I tow a boat with mine.
Different strokes.

09-15-2015 07:54 AMActually, it was kind of fun digging into the snow stuff. I knew Holland had a lot, (not compared to upper Michigan), but thought Toledo was the same as Detroit. You actually have more than they do. (Nothing like the east end of Lake Erie though).
But yeah, the truck we have currently gets driven in snow much more often than it tows. Even before Terri got sick and we used the boats a lot, we had slips on Lake Macatawa where they stayed ready to use during the summer.
What hitch did you end up using? Did you find a 2 1/2" that was easily adjustable for height?Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
