wnjj - It's not the math of "wider" that's hard to understand...it's how much of an impact this actually has on the vehicle's use. How often have you had to actually pass by a spot in your dually that you would have used if it was a SRW?
Sure, the numbers say it's wider...but no dually owners here are saying, "You know, if only I had an SRW I wouldn't have wasted so much of my vacation time looking for bigger parking spaces."
It's the difference between experience and folks looking up numbers on the internet.
I never have this issue, as I ALWAYS back in my dually until the tires are touching the curb or sidewalk. That puts my doors where most other vehicles have there doors....
The downside to a dually: 2 more tires to buy and sometimes you might have to walk a little further in a parking lot. If you need a dually for the weight you should get it.
I have been daily driving a dually for 8 years now and won't ever go back as long as I have a TC and tow at the same time. Even if we switch to a toy hauler fifth wheel I will stick to duallies.
