What Is a Dually Truck and Why It Matters in Kentucky

Which Diesel Truck Is Best?

Redmond CDJR Explains Heavy-Duty Power You Can Count On

At Redmond Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Middlesboro, KY, we know drivers across Kentucky and East Tennessee need more than a standard pickup—they need strength, durability, and capability that delivers. Enter the dually truck: a heavy-duty powerhouse built to handle extreme hauling, fifth-wheel towing, and serious payloads.

Whether you’re moving equipment through Corbin, hauling hay outside Harrogate, or towing a fifth-wheel trailer to the Smokies, a dually might be exactly what your job or lifestyle calls for.

Dually vs. Non-Dually Trucks: What’s the Difference?

Understanding the Build

A dually truck—short for dual-rear-wheel truck—features two wheels on each side of the rear axle, giving it four tires in the back instead of two. This design spreads the load more evenly, offering better traction and stability when carrying heavy payloads or towing massive trailers.

By comparison, non-dually pickups (aka single-rear-wheel or SRW trucks) are more maneuverable and fuel-efficient but not as well-equipped for extreme jobs.

Pros of Dually Trucks:

• Superior towing capacity

• Increased payload rating

• Greater stability on the road with large trailers

• Ideal for gooseneck or fifth-wheel towing

Things to Consider:

• Larger size makes tight spaces trickier to navigate

• Slightly reduced fuel economy

• Higher initial cost

Is a Dually Truck Right for You?

Built for Heavy-Duty Tasks

If your work involves construction, farming, RV hauling, or transporting commercial-grade equipment, a dually truck is a smart investment. These trucks often pack the most powerful engines, including available turbo-diesel options that push towing limits above 30,000 pounds.

And for drivers who need to tow with confidence, especially on Kentucky’s backroads and hills, dual rear wheels offer unmatched control and safety.
