Have you spent much time in a Dually? I've owned two of them and they're a PITA for daily driving. The big rig trucks I drive are easier than a dually as the front is as wide as the drivers on a big rig. With a Dually it's the rear fenders sticking out in the back only you don't have a refence in the front to the width in the back. I bought the last one as I couldn't find a SRW that I wanted at the time. To do it over again I'd have waited and found a SRW truck instead.RocKrawler said:
Well lets see here, From '73 to '77 while in the army I drove everything from M151A1s to 5 ton wreckers. From '77 to now I've been driving 2 axle bobtails to triple trailer rigs. I can back up a set of double trailers hooked up. So I guess I'm just a weenie but a Dually pickup is not as easy to drive as my 3 axle ten wheel dump truck. My wife drove my '72 K20 pu for a while and since then doesn't like to drive a car cause of the better view from a truck. But she hates to drive my dually. And finding a place to park a extra long truck at the store sucks around here too.TEAM X-TREME said:
RocKrawler then you both know the pains of a Dually. Just wanted to point out some of the problems that till you've had one you don't know.RocKrawler said:We sold our 2001 Ford Super Duty Crew Cab Dually, and it was the wifes. Reason for selling is the $716 payment and V-Turd engine. If it was a Powerstroke you'd have had to pry it from my cold, dead fingers... but the V-10 was nothing to let go. We decided to simplify and go with something paid for to save for a house downpayment, a smart move in this economy. She just cant picture the older bodystyle in a 4WD & lifted, she has never seen one. I have seen plenty from my years at managing various shops. I just want her to get an idea of what they look like... so we need PICS PLEASE! C'mon guys.. someone's gotta have some to post.
