I would definitely go with the Dually. Better stability in the wind and pulling heavy loads. Also the security of having dual rear wheels in case of blowout which can quickly get ugly pulling a load. You already know the drawbacks of a dually, wide and long, pain in the tail to park or drive through but for towing they are really nice. With that said you do not want a dually for a daily driver or even a typical extended cab long bed truck. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/ "Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

I bought this during the last economic collapse in 2008, you can get a deal. Probably even better this time around. If I told ya what I paid for this with 5 miles on it, you wouldn't believe me. It just turned 80k it's like brand new inside and out. I wouldn't sell it for what I paid twelve years ago because GM is in China now. Can't have one of those, it wouldn't be right.

New 3500 and up have so much power it’s unreal! A little worried about the new transmission ( 10 speeds) changes. I hate DEF! There has to be a better way to knock down particulate and NOX. Any of you have the new trucks with engine/ex braking ? Is it good? Raceless in California! | |||

Barry, my 13 RAM/Cummins has an exhaust brake, works great. Mine is 385HP/850TQ it will pull my 48' goose at 29,000# total as fast as you want. 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

I have been daily driving a dually since 2001, three different trucks but all have been duallies. All have also been F450's they have a wider front track and tighter turning radius, you can park it anywhere and u turns are not an issue. I have a very good friend with a 19 Chevy 3500, gets great mileage cant turn worth a hoot. I will be ordering a new one if thye ever get to 0% on Super Dutys, I like free money.

Just remember that tolls are higher for a dually, towing or not. When I was driving mine as a daily driver my tolls tripled. One good thing about a dually is that you get more excersie since you have to park in the North forty when shopping!  | |||

Around here tolls go by the number of axles..... 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

For me I went from $5 to $15 to go to Pennsylvania daily. That's an extra $50 a week, God forbid if I had to use the turnpike as well! That's an extra $2500 a year if used as a daily driver! | |||

Al you can't park it anywhere in NYC and there is no difference in turning radius between a dually and a 3500. | |||
|
| DRR S/Pro |
I'll bet there is a turning radius difference between a short bed 3500 and a dually which are all long bed.....  But yeah, a big city is no place for a dually. 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

Toll is twenty bucks I believe here for Bridges, dually and three axles. If you look at cramp angles turning Fords about 50 deg and GM is 52 plus. I’d have to look at Mopar Then there’s the wheel base..This message has been edited. Last edited by: BP758, Raceless in California! | |||

Sometimes a thread like this reminds me of how fortunate I am to live in the sticks. Even if it is in a politically corrupt state. No tolls. No crowded parking lots. No problems with HOA's. I don't make as much as I would make in the city. But my biggest concern today is what shape to make our pond. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

I am with you Bucky. Still feel the sting after paying $36.00 to cross bridge from MD to VA. Never been in an HOA, come on man. | |||
