I am required to have commercial plates which cost much more. Others have mentioned parking lot issues (probably not unique to duallys)
Wow. Commercial plates??????? Just for a dually in Mass. ?
Seems strange to have to do that for what seems to be a non-commercial vehicle used to tow an RV.
I'd say the exception more than the rule here, although Rookie may in fact be using the vehicle also as a contractor or whatever away from his RV'ing time, which could explain commercial charges.
As far as parking lots, lots of bogus info about duallys.
Fact is, it is the vehicle LENGTH that causes most parking problems, not the duals.
You just cannot get these long, crew cab pickups turned into some parking spots. Single or dual makes NO difference here.
I have absolutely no problem with my dually in parking lots, aside from the fact that I do need to pick my parking spots with a little more care than I would were I driving say a Honda Accord.
Duals fit in between the lines with ease, and I try to back into spots as much as possible.
