Banged fenders are a result of poor driving. Plain and simple. If you can't drive a bigger truck, get a single.

It's not quite that simple...dually fenders take a beating from road debris like small rocks, sand, dirt, etc....

Dually fenders are VERY susceptible to door dings in parking lots. I don't care if you park in the back-40 you will come out of the store and sure as the world someone will have parked their car within 2 inches of your Dually fender....at least that was my experience.

My Dually never had a problem at drive thru's and banks. Parking garages were another story entirely.

Thanks!

Interesting.

My dually fenders have no damage from road debris in 10 years.

Close parking now and then sure, but letting the air out of the offenders tires helps. (Just kidding)

Impressive. My former F450 (2011) had small rock chips within 10,000 miles on the rear fenders. I only drove it on the interstates but due to the design, it just happened.

No rock chips on any of the dually's I've owned and I spent quite a bit of time on the interstate as well as on secondary roads. And, as stated, MY dually had no fender damage on any of the dually's I"ve owned since 05'. Truck I owned now has almost 33,000 miles on it and I've owned it for 2 yrs, 3 months, no problems...Not saying it can't happen, but thank goodness, I've not experienced such issues in 10 years.
