#1 reason would be looks of a tandem axle without the added upkeep and weight. I could be used as a load assist but considering what an F-450 (550, 650?) is capable of handling I don't see where it would be necessary for that (unless of course there is a helicopter pad on the roof). Most likely power is only going to the forward rear axle.

Well, that should handle the weight of the extended limo conversion just fine. :icon_cheers:

I Know this will sound extremly gay Why have power to the rear wheels, look how long the drive shaft would have to be (greater chance for it to go out of balance, = vibration = shitty ride) it's not like you will ever use 4x4 if it even has it. the thought of front wheeldrive in large rv's has been around for a while(the RV in Stripes is front wheel drive.) just a stupid thought, you may now go back to your regular scheulded reading.

Just random guessing but im gonna say the very back tires are set up for steering. look at charter busses, they all have rear stearing to get into tight spots easier. Extra weight like maybe a hot tube inside?? WHO KNOWS lol let our imaginations soar!
