Older Dually...

[jerem0621]

Going to be needing a dually again.

The pop up shopping made us realize that we don't want a pup.. Lol.. Plus, where would we haul the golf cart? Fast math and TT tongue weight, plus golf cart, plus precious family and I need 1.5 tons of payload.

My last Dually was not comfortable due to the XL trim with the fixed vinyl bench seat.

Need the DL on Lariat or XLT seats from 99-04 SuperDuty trucks... We're they comfortable? How about the GM Dually trucks? Comfy or not so much?

Last truck was a V10....didn't realize how hard it is to find a gas Dually with higher than base level trim... They all seem to be diesels...8.1 diesel seems to be pretty elusive too. May have to go to the dark side and get a 7.3.

Thanks for the feedback on the seat comfort on the 99-05 ish trucks. Seems silly to ask this question but it is hard to judge a seat based on a quick test drive. The XL bench wasn't bad on the test drive... 1200 miles into a trip and my back was screaming.

From a GM standpoint, the farthest back you want to go is 2001. That is the first year of basic current model look standpoint. There are no 2000's iirc, 99 back to 88 is the older style round body. 3 and 4 spd trannies vs 5 and 6 sp allisons in the diesel and BB8. 6.0 has the 4l80/85e 4 sp auto. Also the pre 01 has a 7500 grawr, which may work for you. Afterwards 8500 and higher in the latest few years.

This would be my picks for GM anyhow.
