Dually vs SRW

[pfi572]

Not getting 4x4 gears switched for $2000 at any dealership. Double that maybe ?

Two of my business partners ordered trucks around the same time I did.

1 ordered a loaded 21 Ram 3500 Bighorn at the end of March. Received his truck at the end of July

I ordered at the end of April. Very similar truck to partner #1. Expected to receive mine end of August based on partner #1. Sold my truck beginner of September after the dealer insinuated the new truck should arrive soon

Partner #2 ordered a loaded 21 Ram 3500 Limited end of May. Received his truck the first week of September.

We all ordered from the same sales guy. I spoke with him today. Truck still isn't built. Looked in to it, he claims if I get rid of 3 options, my order will get pushed through. The three options are the high output Cummins, fifth wheel prep package, and Night Edition. Two out of the three are pretty much deal breakers for me. Fifth wheel prep I'm only really getting for resale factor, I'm going to have a Truckboss on this thing for the next 4 years.

That fifth wheel prep is that much of a big deal for resale?

I wouldn't buy a truck without it.

I would have given it up if that was the only thing holding my order back.

While selling my last truck, almost everyone that was serious about it made a comment about the lack of fifth wheel prep. Might as well pay the $500 to have it there. There's always the possibility a big job comes up that I need to pull something other than a bumper pull too.

I’d ditch the midnight edition. And save a few g.

Been looking for a good dually
For like 2 years near impossible to
Find a good clean somewhat low km
One for a decent price

To each their own. I strongly dislike the fake chrome. I've looked at several similar trucks available now, but I just can't get over all the shiny bits. Headlights, mirrors, badges, grille. Just doesn't do it for me. It's a steep price to pay for an option that likely costs Stellantis very little to produce, but I personally like the overall look.

It's too bad they don't do the body color mirrors like the sports have, those look sharp. Can't say i'm a silver fan to begin with, but both of those look pretty good. Black is the one color that looks awesome when there is no chrome.

I loved my black truck. Hated trying to keep it shiny. Figured I would give the metallic silver a go this time. I do agree on the body color mirrors though. That would add some extra pop. They don't do that anymore though on the HD. Even the sport.

If you're seriously worried about the icy back roads etc... get a set of chains... they work!

Ya throw a set of triples on and it will be unstoppable until it’s not then your fawked. Lol. I find duallys on the logging road ride smoother as the second wheel maybe avoids the holes better. The extra cost of tires sucks though.

I had a buddy with a dually years ago that put some sick flares on the front and turned it into a super single rear. It looked actually pretty sick.

 

[Dawizman]

This is the truck I was looking at, but I've decided to hold out for now. The 4.10 DRW is more truck than I need.

I know what your saying, I like it too, but I guess if you don’t need a truck right away, than wait till your build comes off restrictions.

Something like this.

That's where I'm at. I'll learn some patience and deal with it for a few more months. I have other trucks to use, just nothing to toss my 8ft Truckboss on. First world problems...

I loved all of my dually’s in most conditions more than single wheel. Only reason I went single was working downtown Calgary and parking. Absolutely no comparison when pulling a trailer or with two sleds on a deck, the dually felt like it was on rails with two sleds on versus the sway of a single wheel.

I found Duratracs were the ticket on my duallys and stick to the 235. 255 look cool but when I tried a set I had to run a spacer so they wouldn’t kiss and I just never felt right with the spacer and really heavy loads.

Duallys get stuck in snow way more than srw. Any clown that says drw are great in snow are lying. Srw are best

Chain up dog.

 

[kanedog]

Haha, chain up the dog! But just what I want to do first thing before or after a day of riding, chain up my dumb dually to keep up with the srw trucks that have no chains. It’s a “dually pickle.” Haha

 

[scotts]

Who has ever put on a set of chains before being stuck right to the guts?? That would make way to much sense
