Dual rear wheels are more stable, but, when unladen - and especially on slick roads - have a higher aspect ratio, ergo, less ground pressure, as the weight is distributed over a wider area than a SRW vehicle.
Depends on what you're hauling or towing.
Rear wheel drive vehicles are better able to deal with loads, that's why there are few, if any, front wheel drive pickup trucks, and zero front wheel drive commercial trucks.
A four wheel truck will provide better performance in the snow. It will also have a better resale value.
trucks have broad wheel because so that it reduces pressure and the tyres dont burst.
The length from the middle of the steer wheels to the center point between the drive tandems (for a tandem truck) or center of the single drive axle (on a single axle truck).
Not one single person invented it, but it was developed from past trucks as far back as the 1700s. A Frenchman tried to make a steam-powered truck with a single front wheel and two back wheels with the boiler on the front. It ultimately failed but in the 1900s trucks were greatly improved.

No.
Fifth wheel hitches usually come on or can be installed on pickup trucks. They are most suitable for more heavy-duty trucks as opposed to lighter trucks.
No they did not.
Answer Depends on the car. Most sedans and coups have 16 or 20 (i.e. 4 or 5 on each wheel). Midsize trucks often have 5 per wheel. Larger trucks, 6 per wheel. Large trucks (Ford F-250s and the like) 8 per wheel. Buses and larger vehicles can have 10 or more per wheel.
This completely depends on the wheel. The most common number of spokes per wheel is 36. Some better wheels have 32. Higher performance wheels have even less.
