Why Vandalia Heavy Towers Choose F-350 DRW
When you're running 25,000+ lb gooseneck loads down I-75 to Cincinnati or I-70 to Columbus, stability matters. The F-350 DRW's dual rear wheels distribute weight across four contact patches instead of two—reducing sway, improving braking, and delivering the confidence Montgomery County commercial haulers need under maximum loads. The wider stance handles crosswinds and uneven pavement that challenge single rear wheel trucks.

F-350 DRW: Know Before You Buy
The dually configuration adds approximately 8 inches to the rear width versus SRW trucks. Parking in standard spaces requires attention. Some drive-throughs become challenging. But for Vandalia buyers who regularly max out towing capacity—or simply want the stability margin DRW provides—the tradeoff makes sense. Beau Townsend Ford helps Montgomery County buyers evaluate whether their applications justify the switch from SRW.

F-350 DRW Questions — Vandalia Buyers
What does DRW mean on Ford trucks?
DRW stands for Dual Rear Wheel—four tires on the rear axle (two per side) instead of two. This configuration increases stability, towing capacity, and payload ratings. The F-350 DRW is commonly called a "dually."
How much can an F-350 DRW tow?
The F-350 DRW tows up to 38,000 lbs with a gooseneck hitch when properly equipped with the high-output Power Stroke diesel. Conventional towing reaches up to 28,000 lbs. Beau Townsend Ford calculates exact ratings for your configuration.
Do I need a CDL to drive an F-350 DRW in Ohio?
No—the F-350 DRW stays under CDL requirements when properly configured. However, combined vehicle and trailer weight, as well as cargo type, can trigger CDL requirements. Beau Townsend Ford helps Vandalia buyers understand GVWR and GCWR limits.
Is the F-350 DRW hard to drive daily?
The F-350 DRW is wider than standard trucks—approximately 8 inches at the rear. Parking requires more attention, and tight drive-throughs can be challenging. Many Vandalia owners use their dually as a dedicated tow vehicle rather than daily transportation.
What's the difference between F-350 DRW and F-450 DRW?
The F-450 DRW offers higher GVWR and gooseneck towing capacity (up to 40,000 lbs) through upgraded suspension and frame components. The F-450 comes with diesel only; the F-350 DRW offers both gas and diesel options.
Does Beau Townsend Ford have F-350 DRW in stock?
Yes—Beau Townsend Ford maintains F-350 DRW inventory at our W National Road location in Vandalia. We stock multiple configurations and can locate specific builds for Montgomery County buyers.
