Make sure the wife can drive it though,mine will because of the automated trans. keep in mind we are all getting older and a minor injury to a leg or hip could cut a vacation short if not for a 'clutchless' gearbox.
My truck will do a U turn in front of the house , the 2wd SD never could.
She can drive it and the only time the clutch is used is to take off. Some of the state parks we fish at I would never get in with a HDT because of the road only being about 10' wide at the sites and drainage ditches on both sides. I have to put the front of my truck now in the ditches to catch the 5er backing in. I think they let 5th grade engineering students design some of these parks.

These are a lot of truck to just buy for air ride and if you buy a MDT you won't be able to hold the speeds on the interstate like a 2500/3500 series truck.
