do you own a 3500 reg cab ram dually

I'm thinking seriously about getting a 3500 reg cab Ram dually. I live in a city near downtown and have a short driveway. Besides that, the length is easier to park, turn and fits in with my idea of a short over all length 5th wheel and trailer, since our travel during winter includes Nat Parks, cty and state parks.
A dually would be overkill for the 30 ft length 5th wheel but I view that as a plus. I also like the mad max look of a reg cab dually. Does anyone have a ram reg cab dually and how hard is the ride with the air suspension option?
Invariably I'm going to get the naysayers who will respond with "it's a truck, what do you expect," kind of response, but this will be my only drive, so it's a balance between what I really want and whether or not my wife will hate it. As long as the ride is tolerably, she's okay with it.

  • This reg cab 3500
    configuration is rare on the sellers lots. I've had crew cab duallies (4) in the past and they all rode fine. It's a reg cab that I'm trying to get the opinion on. Thanks.
  • I think you should just go test drive one over the roads where you are. Then you can see what your tolerance level is. Ride comfort is relative to the person. They are stiff and rough riding but if you have good roads where you are then it probably won't be bad. If your roads are rough you will feel it.
    Every dually I have owned has rode like **** unloaded but that is personal opinion.
  • Have been driving a quad cab dually since 2007. Love it. It does take some getting used to, but totally doable for thosemthat really need to weight capacity. Personally instead of the regular cab I would opt for a crew cab short bed dually. The extra cab space is worth it to me.
