I won't go back to a half ton pickup, even if I stop towing. You get more bang for your buck in a 3/4 or 1 ton.
Same. In comparable trim levels HD trucks cost a little more to buy and operate but they're still a better value.
That's the kicker in the whole mess. While a dually is a lot more capable than a 1/2 ton. The pre covid price difference betwen the two is not that significant.
Now that there are shortages and supply chain issues pricing is more influenced by supply and demand. But the bottom line is it generlly does not cost more to buy the correct properly equipped truck vs. buying any old truck or the wrong truck.
Many people end up with the wrong truck simply because they did not research or do their homework and simply did not know any better.
$$$ money is generally not the issue.
