If it's a dually? Or is it really a 6x6?

Think of it as four "wheels" (or four axle points) vs four tires. With a 4x4, there are four points to potentially provide power from the axle to the road surface (regardless of how many contacts/tires there are). The same with 6x6 - there are six ends to the axles with potential for all six to transfer power.

What you're referring to as 6x6 is actually only four ends of axles - all four potentially transfering power to the ground (through six tires).

6X6 = 3 axles with 6 axle ends turning 6 hubs.
4x4 = 2 axles with 4 axle ends turning 4 hubs.

Yeah, 4 wheel positions and all are driven wheel positions makes it 4x4.

This was considered a 6x6, even though it has 10 tires:

Maybe a 4x4.5

4 drive wheels (dual or not) over 4 points of contact.

4x4
