+1.

I tow a 38 w/ a D-max 2500. yes,I am pushing the legal limits of the truck but it tows great. 5" lift w/ 33's 13.5 wide make it feel like a dually. BIG BIG BIG difference towing a 30 footer compared to a 38. 30 footer you can go anywhere....38 you have to plan ahead for the extra length, like what gas stations you can make it in. BUt I agree...a dually would be best for 38 plus boats.

update?

Looking to sell an 01' 2500 Suburban with 94' miles if anyone is interested. I will tow a 30 with no problem. I tow my Apache with it occaissionally but its under rated for it. The brakes were changed for the first time at 90k miles, other than that is been tires and wiper blades! Lol. It's amazing how trouble free the Chevy HD's are! Great trucks! All the ford guys I know have to do brakes and front ends a lot, and head gaskets for the diesels.

[QUOTE=t500hps;3170591.btw: I don't drive the dually as a daily driver and would hate it if I had too![/QUOTE]

That's what keeps me from getting one.

I daily drive mine every day - full 4 door, full length bed. You get used to it so quickly you don't think twice about it. If you have the boat that requires a dually just get one - you'll be used to it in under a week.

Don't take this the wrong way but what do you do for a living?

For me it's not about getting used to it as much as being practical. I have to drive to Jersey City and NYC (tunnels and narrow streets) once or twice a week. I also work in an office building and would need to park far enough away to fit. Most of the parking garages don't allow dually's nor do they fit. I also have to drive customers to special events, dinners, lunches etc.

Ideally I need two vehicles but that's not in the cards. A pick-up is streching it but I will do it if it's a crew-cab, just can't see a dually right now.

Until you want to go through a bank drive thru, car wash, or downtown parking garage.

I agree that a dually is much more stable towing. I had one before. My 2500HD with an 8.1 tows 10k just fine.

The Duallys are no big deal as a daily driver.But I am in an International with a 26ft box all bay long so thats probably why its like driving a toy.Franks right though would not want to take in the city because parking can be an issue.Plus they would charge you a fortune they charged me oversize for my wifes Denaili.

Hey Tim, don't leave the keys in that dually of yours...you might find it in Middletown!!!

Awesome truck you have!
