Thanks for the info everyone. I am now leaning toward the dually diesel because I don't need it as an every day driver and there seems to be some good deals on used ones. Probably because they are so expensive new that the only place to go is down and I imagine there are very limited buyers.
My father in law has a dually diesel I drive sometimes and I agree it is nice to haul with, and his is old.
Someone said they have a 36.5' fiver at 12,000 pounds. I agree, that is what mine weighs as well. But I have a family of seven and a dog so we bring a lot of junk with us. I prefer to use conservative numbers when considering a truck.
Are you buying one of those Texas built trucks with 6 doors? How do you take 7 people and a dog in the truck?
