Yes can definitely limp home on a single if you started with a double[emoji849]

I was following a rugged military 4 wheel truck today it was on grippy singles, I assume traction is down to tread design and footprint.

Personally I think singles will be superior off road. Wider clearance, I've winced at the flex put on one of double wheels mounted on kerbs etc.

 

If your American you can however say. Your 4 is a 6 wheeler!

 

Unimogs run on singles.

If I have to tow and there is not much weight in the tipper/flat bed I prefer a double axle because there is a bit more weight to hold the back end down also they seem to have a bit more stability. I also think singles are capable on 3500 kg vans but twin axles seem to give you a bit more margin and longer life.
