 === Single vs. Dual Rear Wheel ===
-Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) vans offer advantages in load-carrying capacity which can be critical for heavier builds.  They can also offer better performance in when driving in conditions with deep sand, gravel and mud (when equipped with proper tires) as the much larger contact patch prevents them from sinking into the surface. The wheel track of DRW vans is 2" wider than SRW, and some owners report that it gives a more stable and solid feeling when driving on pavement. It also offers redundancy and control in the event of a sudden rear tire blowout.

-Single-Rear-Wheel vans are preferred for vans that are frequently driven on snowy pavement, as the narrower contact contact patch can more easily press down through the snow and to the pavement below.

 The costs of needing to replace 6 tires instead of 4 is mostly a wash, as the tire sizes used on the DRW are cheaper than the SRW.
