Here is a small list. NOTE: I'm considering trading for a gas DRW since I no longer drive my SRW as my daily driver.
1. The number of people who will buy them is dramatically less, so the resell market is soft compared to SRWs. Good if you want to buy a used one, bad if you want a big selection to choose from.
2. You need special brackets to load a TC and the brackets are weaker sense they are extended.
3. The individual tires are typically weaker than a SRW with higher capacity tires.
4. There is less ability to customize and most are more commericially oriented which means that they have less creature comforts.
5. They have hips and many consider them ugly.
6. They are less maneuverable by a lot due to more width and typically only Crew Cab.
7. Typically longer than a supercab since they frequently come as Crew Cab only. They weigh more.
8. They can’t park in most garages, or even make it through the entrance.
9. They barely fit or don’t fit in smaller traffic lanes. That also makes them harder to park inside the lines with them being almost 2 ft wider.
10. They are wider, so it may be impossible to maneuver between rocks/logs/trees off road.
11. The back tires float more so traction is worse without a load.
12. They typically get worse mileage due to weight more tires and less gearing options.
If you own one, you think it is the only possible choice … joking.
Of all people to bash a vehicle...its like the guy who says the 6.0 is junk but has never owned one.
I have owned my dually for a week today. I must say that its no different then my old F250 when driving and parking it.
