3/4 ton payload vs. towing capacity

Every time the topic pops up I am the one that chimes in and says to get the tool to do the job. Yes Virginia you can drive nails with a pipe wrench, but a hammer is better.

When you drop the 5er, do you play in the mud? No duals for me, can't move through the ruts.

Live in the Northeast? F250 size can park on the street, use the hammer lanes and parkways without the camper.

Duals are less useful in tight places, like parking garages and drive throughs.

To do real mud work the gasser has a lot less junk hanging down.

Some will tell me to get a toy hauler, a dually and bring the 48 Jeep.
Then not go to Jersey to visit the wife's family with the truck.

X2, folks here say "keep it simple, 350/3500 dually" well life is not simple! We have been full timing for a year, and love to see the sights where we travel! Weather, going to Bar Harbor, or Washington DC you WILL have a problem finding and parking a 1 ton dually! My 2500 is not a walk in the park, but I can and do find parking spaces where I want! If all you do is go from RV park to RV park then it is a no brainer, but if you plan on going elsewhere, such as to Walmart to buy groceries then you need to think about your options!
