SRW trucks are so friendly! When I'm out with the RV in even moderate winds, all the SRW trucks wag their tails at us as though they're happy to see us on the road. My DRW doesn't acknowledge them. No matter how windy it is, my dually refuses to wiggle its butt even a little bit in return. I suppose that's mighty unfriendly, but it sure feels safe.
As for fuel economy, two extra tires in the back don't mean a whole lot when the real problem is the giant whale nose of the fifth wheel . It's like towing a sailboat against the breeze.
As for width, if the mirrors fit, the hips fit. Drive-thrus are a bit challenging, but at my age and weight I probably shouldn't be eating any food that has to be unwrapped after shouting the order into a plastic clown-head. I also tend to park in the back of parking lots and walk farther to the store. I guess in that respect, my dually is trying to keep me healthy!
Haha loved this post! If the mirrors fit, the hips fit! Haha. You know, a lot of people mention parking in the back of a parking lot being a con to a dually. But in all reality, any descent truck should be that way. I park my $3x,xxx Z06 in the back of the parking lot because I don't want a door ding, so why would a $2x,xxx-$6x,xxx truck be any different? Lol I wont even let my wife park her new Escape between two cars. Idiots just can't park! I've had two cars slide against two of my old cars while parking and won't ya know, didn't leave any info. I'll park my short $13,000 Duramax at the end of a parking lot lol. I just can't stand it! Post like these though push dually... I wish I could drive each with a fifth wheel before I choose!
