We Took Your Advice Ordered a Dually

[UncleFudd]

Your advice and experience won over my desire to make a SRW short bed tow vehicle work. The Cedar Creek requires a dual wheel truck so we ordered a Ford crew cab long bed w/DRW including the factory installed 25K Reese hitch. There is a wide gap between the maximum SRW and DRW. If they made just one model somwhere in the gap that would work. Neither Ford or GM has one.
Thanks for your complete analysis and sound advice.

Now that we have the big problems settled Cedar Creek ordered & will take forever to get delivery. Cedar Creek say they can't find enough delivery personnel. And the TV ordered, we are looking for a bed cover.
The Retrax gets a lot of good reviews but is expensive & not leakproof.
What are your choices?
Thanks still again,
Jim

The drawback on not having a urea tank is requiring the several times the EGR flow to meet emission requirements. And FWIW the new cummins engines DO NOT meet them, cummins is burning epa credits it earned from 07 model year+ that exceeded the 07 requirements.

Gas or diesel?

I bought a Doge (new in 2010) diesel because both Ford and Chevy have a pee tank to meet emission laws and Dodge did not require it. Form what I understand Urea only needs to be added at every oil change, as far as I was concerned it was an extra expense I did not want to deal with.
