SRW vs DRW
At what weight / length FW is DRW a necessity? Realizing it's very subjective, but is there a consensus? Assuming everything else is equal on the tow rig.

Not really subjective. Wouldn’t have a DRW unless absolutely needed. Too difficult to park, drive off-road etc.
Typical comment from someone who doesn't drive DRW daily.
Tell me why a comparable DRW is harder to park than a SRW?
Payload , stability and better braking are why you chose DRW over SRW
seems to me that DRW trucks sort of stick out wider than SRW ones??????

The rear wheels are no wider than the mirrors on a SRW truck.
Besides a few drive throughs I have no issues taking my dually anywhere a SRW can go. I don't off road in my Dually.
The discussion was about overly narrow drive thrus, not backing.
IIRC those mirrors will fold back if bumped.

I have yet to fold back my mirrors before backing up. I don't think you fold them back first in a SRW truck either?
Do SRW drivers regularly park in spots that are so narrow they require folded mirrors?
