Those that live "in the country" or don't use their truck for a daily driver always sit back and harp on DW long bed trucks. They are virtually undriveable in a big city. We live in suburban L.A. and I would NEVER attempt to drive a dually long bed in downtown
I drive my long bed dually in the city all the time. Really not a big deal.
You should attempt it
Agree. I drive mine in Chesapeake and Norfolk traffic whenever I want too.
As far as the newer models having higher towing capacity I agree. However the towing capacity has nothing to do with the stability of a drw vs a srw regardless of towing capacity.
I feel this way as you do. Nothing better than a fat rear end.

Me too. Anyone else notice that pretty much everyone who is recommending a SRW are ones that really should have a DRW themselves??
OP, I am on my second dually and as long as I'm towing a large fifth wheel I won't have anything else. I towed the same trailer with both a SRW and DRW and the difference is like night and day.
On another note I just went to a work conference with my work 2012 F-150 and both my wife and I commented on how our Ram DRW handles the same road MUCH better even with our fiver in tow.
