I took delivery of my F350 dually last February and am still amazed with its performance.
Beside obvious diesel option, I took the tow package with 360' cameras and it really helps a lot. Checking if I can transfer tailgate camera on my camper is still on the list.
The trucks available on dealer's lot did not work for me, so I order specific:
-3.55 LS differential (diesel engine pulls 18k lb combo on those 17 miles CA grades at 1700 rpm with no intention to downshift)
-Supercab as I don't need the extra space, extra weight, extra turning radius, extra cost and fuel consumption.
-RWD as I don't plan to drive on ice, or mud, while in the sand I was pushing my trailer so far, LSD is all I needed.
Even RWD is very tall truck, while 4WD I compared on lot are monsters.
Love GPS with live traffic.
Even I would love to have air suspension, the new suspension is pretty good and I am carrying my camper at 6400 lb without modifications.
