2021 Ford F-250 vs. 2021 Ford F-350SRW vs. DRW

What's the difference between SRW and DRW? SRW, otherwise known as single rear wheel, refers to trucks designed with just one set of rear wheels, rather than two. DRW trucks, also called dual rear wheel or "dually" trucks, are specifically crafted with two pairs of rear wheels to improve towing capabilities. The rear axle on dually trucks is stronger and larger, and the fender is longer so it can cover all wheels. However, dually trucks are not ideal for severe winter weather driving, as the larger tire footprint leads to more skidding in icy and snowy conditions.

The F-250 is only available with SRW, while the F-350 can be equipped with either SRW or DRW.
