We have the dually because we had no choice. When we chose the 06 3400 and ran all the numbers and it came up 1 ton and dually. We would rather not have it but..need and safety outweighs "want" Have never driven the dually in snow so can't comment. Have driven 1 ton dually school bus in the worst of conditions and had little problem. The bigger school busses are also duallies but weigh like 30K. They stick to the snow petty good but once they unstick you are in for a ride. We also jury rig our tonneau cover as far back toward he hitch as we can get it to reduce turbulance in the bed. That is where most of the drag is and I think it helps some. It keeps things in the bed for sure. I learned something else now today on the forum about if you get a flat on the front just run the inner dual on a board , remove the outer dual and use it as a spare till you can get to a repair shop..... another good day..the learning never stops.
