I want super singles tucked under the SRW fenders instead of a dually. Going to be a bit narrower between the wheel wells and that is fine by me.
I doubt manufactures would produce a truck with less than 4’ between the wheel wells.
Yea, I've thought of that as well, but I agree.
I haven't looked at a dually in a while, but I have to wonder if the inner wheels could be tucked closer to the body, thus bringing the outer wheels closer in as well. That would reduce the overall width by a couple inches, possibly making it more desireable.
Or simply offer a super single (17" wide) instead of dual rear wheels (23" wide). That would reduce your width by a foot! Of course, I'm not aware of a super single with a wheel size small enough to fit on a pickup...
Well part of the stability of a DRW comes from the wide stance and eight sidewalls instead of four. The reasons people have all kinds of reasons for not wanting to drive a DRW. Most are not valid. We full time and our crew cab long bed DRW is our only vehicle. No, it isn’t a smart car, but I can drive and park just about anywhere I want. We are 8’ wide at the hips, standard road lane is 10’ so a foot on each side.
I see people in compact cars, hugging the center line when crossing a bridge because the rail is too close. You learn the size and it isn’t an issue, DD also has a DRW for hauling her four horse trailer she doesn’t have any issues driving such a BIG truck.
