Why do some pickups have two tires on each side of the rear axle?

Why do some pickups have two tires on each side of the rear axle?

called a dually

adds stability and increases rear axle payload

This
Also because of the wider contact patch it increases stability when towing.

>also increases stability

That's what he said you fucking retard.

>not being a retard
Fucking intellicuck

Well thanks for jumping up and pointing that out you autistic fuck. Do you feel better now?

increases stability

The two tires also increase stability.

Adds about tree fiddy stabilities

Would 3 tires on each side of the rear axle increase stability?

Two tires of that size can't legally (or safely) support the gross axle weight rating. Four can. Ergo, more tires! This is the same logic for tractor trailers.

They would increase stability by 2 more tires worth over 1 tire's worth of stability.

>stability intensifies

Helps to stabilize the truck

For stability

:replyall:
It increases stability.

>saying something i don't like makes you autistic

>tfw no stability

But does it increase stability?

no, but fitting two extra tyres does

So what you're saying is, more tires, more stability?

It's for added stability.

Stab billy T

for mexicans pack more drugs

Adds more stability to the truck

Okay I get it, but I have one last question... does it affect stability in any way?

A lot of good answers here, but I think the main purpose is to add more stability

Why can't I hold

moot point

That's a good point, often overlooked.

Here's this if anyone wants it.

Increases stability.

im dying here.

thanks Veeky Forums

thanks, posting this on /Veeky Forums for max karma!

There are other ways to incrise stability without extra tyres.

But not while towing.
Best just to increase stability with extra tires.

So do the extra tires increase stability then? Or is it just for show?

No. But it would increase stability.

It helps to stabilize the truck.

Thanks m8

i'm feelin pretty unstable myself lately. I just dont know if I can carry on another day.

What if two tires were to carry the coconut together?

>tfw no stability

Just mount 2 more legs to your torso.

> Pic related

The more tires and axles you have, the bigger your truck is. The bigger your truck is, the bigger your dick looks.

I also heard it helps to keep the truck from becoming unstable while driving.

The extra tires add ability for more stability.

>old ford dually

Kind of want

...

Don't turn going faster than 20

adds another level to the dream

those are heavy duty versions of that specific truck usually used in a trade like construction, beefed up drivetrain with more tires to support the extra weight from towing or hauling gravel/bricks in the bed

so you dont have to replace it when the tire blowss jus keep drivin

For doubling your skids

how do you increase stability?

What if I put 2 wheels on each front hub? Would it be more or less stable? What if there's only one set in the back? Would my added stability added unevenly destablize the stability?

Increase your rear axle payload.

Stabilizes your rolling:coal ratio.
More wheels = more coal
More rolling = less acceleration = less coal

>not a dually
Opinion disregarded

dually's sway side to side much less when pulling heavy trailers.
also i guess theyre more stable or some shit.

I don't know about this boss. When I worked with the state road they wouldn't pull a grader with anything smaller than a tandem dump truck.

Listen here you little unstable shit I stabilized top of my class Magna Cummins Laude so don't tell that heehaw what he can or cannot stabilize without my approval. I'll have you know I have over 300 confirmed stables and four fine bitches at all of my tables. Clark Gable could not be as stable if he installed xfinity cable. I run rat pricks like you vietnan fucking shit

not everybody has a tandem dump sitting around

Holy shit dude, those things weigh +30k lbs, Your trucks towing capacity is nowhere no that.

Have fun when your truck totally shits itself

Not to mention thats pretty dangerous too

I believe it adds stability

>trucks towing capacity is nowhere no that

1st its not my truck, or my pic
2nd im pretty sure thats a champion c60c grader which weighs about 16k
3rd the yard switcher weighs about 18k
4th that 2010 f450 has gcwr of 33k, and fifth wheel towing capacity of 24k

if towing that grader or yard switcher was going to hurt their brand new $60000 truck, they wouldnt do it.

what is dangerous?

No, dumbass, it means it has more stability

Nice job m90, been Screensavin like an artist when I bumped this

Would 2 less stable tire still provide more stability than 1 more ably stable tire? Or would you just get increased stability?

No, Bcos 2 less stable tires are still equal or more stable than a 1 stable maximum payload

Almost right. It's not that two tires can't support the weight, it's that the weight being distributed over only two tires would put more stress and wear on the roads than is legal. More tires = more surface for the weight to be spread across. So duals save the road wear, but aren't necessary to support the weight. Also stability

No fucking way someone would do that.

They don't actually do anything, they're just for style. They do increase the stability of the truck though. Also, what if you added tires to your tires? Like gluing or duct taping smaller tires to the tires on the axle. Would that increase the stability? Do you have to add tires to the axle or can you just mount the tires on the hood or the roof of your truck and get the same stability?

I think you overestimate people

>don't use truck as intended
>Veeky Forumsbitches
>>use truck for work
>>o bitches

You need some duallys in your life, you need some stability

What the duck happened to this completely stable thread?

Does it need more stability?

It over stabilizes cauaing extreme grip and spontaneous wheelies BEWARE

Having a dually truck will allow you time to safely pull over and stop when towing large trailers if a tire blows out. On a regular 2 rear tire truck, if you blow one tire your truck could pull in the direction that blew, which could cause your trailer to become unstable, and maybe even flip.
And if there's one thing this thread has taught me, it's that being not stable is a no-no.
Be a stable truck OP. Be a Dually.

I think it would add some stability.

Get some stability

Pretty sure it has something to so with increased stability.

It looks like this pillars would collapse of the truck stopped or accelerated too hard

That's already a heavy duty truck you retard. Unless you're talking about a 1.5 ton 4500 or f450

Looks can be deceiving user, it'd collapse before that.

I've heard it's to increase stability

Stability: The Thread

It makes your truck more stable.
That's like, Nintendo levels of stability.

Do you even understand weight ratings?
