Dually life? What about Ford 6.2L

As my search for a replacement for my totaled F350 I see a number of RAM diesel 3500 duallys (2017) showing up at a very good price. One in particular a Laredo at 40K with all sorts of options.
I've never driven a drw before and it seems overkill for our 9K Trailer.
Are they that much harder to drive and park? What about mileage? Better than a gasser anyway I assume. We'll look at it Tuesday probably.
Lots of gas 6.2L around at a good price. And thoughts on that engine from owners?

I agree with Ron, for a 9k TT a DRW is overkill, but if you are looking at making the transition from a TT to a 5th wheel of larger size a DRW USA great tow and daily driver.
Getting over about 10k I would start looking at diesel.

There are lots of those that will tell you a DRW is to large to daily drive, yet they have never driven one more than once! They see them a just to large and hard to turn.

Listen to those who drive DRW on a daily basis, you learn to back into parking spots, even with SRW this is a safer option, as you have clear view when leaving.
