But that's just me. Lots of people don't mind one as a DD.
Yes, I guess we all have our own preference. I know I do.
I actually enjoy using my dually for a DD when I can. As you are in Calgary like I am, you know what the roads are like right now after that massive storm we just had. I live in the south end.
Needed to do a Costco run this afternoon, my car is still buried in the street, just a big white blob out there.
Took the dually to Okotoks and very much enjoyed doing 110K down the highway in it! Nice and stable, and after 411,000K I still love it. Parking? Well yeah, it's a little on the wide side but that's ok, I'm used to it after driving it 14 years. I can put it into any parking space, even though they make them so small.
And yesterday everyone was getting stuck in the alley, so I put the truck in 4WD and ran up and down the alley beating the deep snow down so all my neighbors could get through without getting stuck. Extra pair of tires helped.
Like a kid with a new toy! :B
Frankwp, I can understand a bit of reluctance to drive a DRW in the snow, lower tire pressure to 35 to 40 psi and add some weight to the bed. We drive our 3500 DRW CC LB as a daily Driver as it is our only vehicle as we full time, really don't have an issue with the length or width. I either pull through a parking spot, or back in, it is actually safer to back in even in a car as you have better vision leaving.
