Everyone I've known through the years that have owned'em say duallys are real bad in the snow. Years ago one guy we deer hunted with for a week+ had a dually and we were in snow the whole time. He cussed it every time he fired it up and tried to stay with the rest of us. First, you've got less pounds per square inch contact patch on the rear axle and second, the rear wheels are running out of (or mostly out of) the front wheel tracks and packed down stuff from the other SWR pickups.
