For those that have have a MDT and use it as there means to travel around when you get where you going, how well does that work? I am looking at going from a dually to a MDT. I will have to use it for transportation wherever we go. I just want to make sure it is not going to be a pain to manuver. The dually is bad enough to try to find parking sometimes.

I thought this was an interesting way around the problem.Bill

MDT is same width as a dually pickupMDT wheelbase is similar to longbed pickup truckMDT turning radius is shorter then most longbed pickup trucksOther then sitting higher they are just as easy to maneuver as a dually pickup truckAnd they can tow alot more easier with more comfort

Perhaps looking at SPORTCHASSIS might be interesting for you.2 and 4 wheel drive units.

Maneuvering isn't bad, what gets to be a pain is this 2008 Cummins won't tolerate slow city driving for too long before needing to be run on the freeway or towing to burn the diesel particulate off.That may be only for that particular year however.

Whatever I may get will be used. Probably a pre emissions model. I am not looking at buying a new one because of the emissions and the cost:
