Langley, Many of you folks never leave a snow free, paved road, stay in RV parks adjacent to the golf course, ect.,using their trucks primarily as an RV tow vehicle. Some of us can not afford to have multiple trucks, one dedicated for towing. For many of us a DRW is totally impractical for our everyday multipurpose use. I’m sure there would be “some” perceptible difference in towing, but with many miles, with varying conditions....we seem to “struggle” along just fine!
While I get your point. My truck is also my daily driver work truck.
However the only reason I have a dually is to tow my 5'er.
My desire to have the proper tow vehicle supersedes all my other concerns. Yes sometimes I have to endure of having a dually.
But the little annoyances don't bother me. When I'm towing it's all worthwhile, I have a totally relaxed experience in all conditions.
I agree having 2 trucks can be costly, which is why I have only one. Because I have a large 5th wheel trailer that 1 truck is a dually.
Another point that is often overlooked is that the cost of similarly equipped trucks is about the same. From a 1/2 ton to a dually the price does not differ much when comparing similarly equipped trucks.
Having the right truck is more about knowledge and research than $$$.
