I thought I was the only one who thought that way. Been there done that, got the shirt, sold the dually. Handle sloppy, cornered like a monster... Generally unpleasant to drive...IMHO.
I have enjoyed my unibody TV's despite all the claims that they can't tow... When (if) I get another truck it's going to be a SRW.
Thanks!

I drive a DRW for at least 1 to 2 hours every day to and from work, plus all of our trips, etc. Living in the mountains I'm well familiar with switchbacks and winding roads.
It doesn't handle sloppy, nor does it corner like a monster. It's one of the most pleasant vehicles I have driven.
Does everyone towing need one? No. But if you want to tow and carry bigger loads, give yourself more stability in doing so, and give yourself a safety margin if you have a flat or blowout, then a DRW is for you.
