I had a Dodge long bed dually and upgraded to a Chevy long bed dually with 4 wheel drive. 4WD is something you may never need but if you ever get into a dicey situation the 4WD may be worth its weight in gold. I thought that the 2 extra wheels would give me all the extra traction I needed but got into un-paved lot where it got a lot of rain over night after I parked overnight I had a Dodge long bed dually and upgraded to a Chevy long bed dually with 4 wheel drive. 4WD is something you may never need but if you ever get into a dicey situation the 4WD may be worth its weight in gold.

The long bed comes in handy, it gives me room for a 95 gallon AUX tank.
It allows me to pick and choose stations with the easiest access. It isn't bad down south but there are some area in the north east that are very difficult to get in and out of. I passed by a few stations in N.J. where I would have had to un-hook my RV in order to get in and out of. If you just consider dollars. some diesel stations in N.Y. charge over a dollar of a gallon more in N.Y but I will never come close to breaking even on what I paid for my tank set up but the connivence and piece of mind is priceless
