( D.O.T.) I have used 4x4, tandem and the 6x6. For a 60 + foot boom I really like the 6x6, but you need 40 acres to turn it around. Any smaller boom than that and I wouldn't have anything less than a 4x4. per trouble truck for me is a 1 1/2 ton 4x4 40' squirt with a 15000# winch front and back. had one before, go any where. just an opinion. Good luck!
