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..... snip
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.
I almost always back in to a parking spot. So much easier to get out to leave. The space between the rows is made for a little Honda, not a full size pickup. Parking is never an issue, just gotta be observant in your mirrors.
As for running it it the snow, I have the advantage of my ladder rack, tool boxes and equipment in the back. It all weighs about 2000 pounds. This not only smoothes out the ride, but greatly assists with traction in the snow. Tires are getting down on tread, but I still have no issues with the extra wide footprint of a dually.
For those of you who run an empty dually, throw a ton of weight in the box, it makes a huge difference.
