I can use my 3500 Crew cab long bed dually all the time.. My wife had a hip replacement and I'm still recouping from a stroke.. MUCH , MUCH easier to get in and out of our truck than a HDT. Easier for our two dogs.. I can go through a drive thru, drive in town, use it for whatever... not just sometimes and I only pay insurance on my truck and 5er... don't need to tow around a itty bitty car.. I've gotten as low as 8.5 mpg upto 11, depending on terrain.. my 5er weighs in at 18,300#, I'm under my trucks 14K GVWR by 200# , and at total weight of 28, 250, under GCWR by almost 10K.. Course my 5ers length is only 37' , so tows like a dream in the mountains and flat land..surrounded in luxury in the Longhorn, it's loaded out and paid for(:.
