You know the correct answer to this equation. You have done your homework and been to the sales lots. Now you just need to get over the dually stigma. You are letting the cool factor overshadow what the numbers and your own research are telling you.

Your logic is pointed and impeccable. :C

Without trying to be a douche and start and internet war, I think posts like this are BS. It's the old, "it works for me and is my opinion, therefore, it MUST be yours too."

DRW trucks just don't work for some folks.... guys that live on farms 50 miles from town should realize that.

I'm approaching 50 years old, am overweight and am heavily balding. I regularly wear sandals with socks to the grocery store, go days without shaving and rarely look in the mirror before leaving the house. I mention all this to point out that being "cool" doesn't even come close to making my radar. But I still can't/don't want a DRW truck. It just doesn't work for me or fit where I need it to fit.

I get your point but buying a dually is more about the weight of your rig than your outlook on life.
You can be a Tibetan Monk, a Rabbi,Buddha or the Pope.
If the rig you desire is really heavy your going to need a dually to pull it.
We try to pretend that it is a subjective decision. But once you cross the weight threshold you need a dually.
This applies to guys with full heads of hair and bald guys too. It also applies to both fat and skinny people as well. Payload doesn't care about gender either, it applies to men and women with heavy RV's.
Although if you wear sandals with black socks than your not cool enough to have a dually and must drive a SRW regardless of the weight your trailer:B.
