I downsized from a CC Dually/TT to a Minivan/PUP and am tickled to death.
But I am an oddball on this forum and its okay. My minivan does everything I need it to do. PUP is much more comfy than our TT...happy family..happy me.
Did I regret buying my Dually? Yep.. about 50 miles after I purchased it. No matter what I did, I hated it.
Mostly because the 98% of the time I wasn't pulling my trailer I was daily driving/city driving/parking garaging/doing the homeowner thing... and it was like trying to brad nail a trim piece of wood with a 10 lb sledge.... way too much truck.
For me,IF we were going back to a TT, and if I could make the numbers work... it would be a half ton crew cab short bed truck. If I could NOT make the numbers work then it would be a 3/4 ton CC Ram 6.4 Hemi with Coil springs... and a short bed.
Many people daily drive a HD truck and only use the truck for half ton chores and daily driving with the occasionally heavy pull of their RV...and they seem to be perfectly content.
I'm not one of those guys...and I am not trying to scare you into a half ton or anything like that. I just want to answer your question...
I bought a mega truck and I hated nearly every minute of my ownership.
Thanks!
