One of the other issues I have been thinking about is how much of a ***** it will be to use as a daily driver, which I was planning on with a SRW.

Naah...don't let the wide fenders intimidate ya. The first few days you'll think you're gonna hit everything in site, but you'll get over it. The only place you can't go is the car wash. I prefer to wash by hand so it never bothered me.

used to drive a dually utility body for work, with alot of weight, and no sway. For play i wanted a bad azz lookin new dually 4x4 but instead went srw f350 4x4. srw 4x4 wheels better, and makes it easiker towing a 17k lb 5th wheel through the sand. I bagged my truck and the sway is not a issue while towing. Jaime

FOR WHAT YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW SRW WILL BE PERFECT HOWEVER IF YOU EVER GO BIGGER IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO HAVE DRW FOR SAFETY:ernaehrung004:

Only regret I have with my dually, double rear wheels = double tolls!.

I used to tow with a '92 GMC 1 ton crew cab dually. The things I didn't like was that it took a city block to turn around with (the new ones have a much tighter turning radius) and it was hard to see past the big ol' elephant ear rear fenders when backing up.

My dually will fit in the car wash my wife goes to. It will also go through my bank drive thru. The only thing I have to really watch is making a right turn into a right-hand lane. Other than that it handles like a SRW. And if I had the right brakes on it, 20,000lbs would not be too much for it to handle.
