For me,towing is not preferred and only done when there is no other option. I don't want to be married to a trailer  .
Hey,to each their own. That's just me and the way I feel from what I've learned from driving and "needing" trucks all my life. All my hind sight has given me foresight to know what works and what doesn't...for me. I don't like dually pickups,either. Been there,done that. I'm just a regular cab 3500 SRW guy. All truck and no bull. |
Not a square, but I had a '99 3/4 ton 4wd Suburban that I sold a few years back. Loved it for towing and hauling people, but hated how short the rear door opening/roof was. I remember picking up a new TV one time and was a little upset when it wouldn't fit! I also haul dirt bikes so it was trailer all the way for those. Sleeping in it wasn't fun either because of the low roof. Still miss it though. Got an ex military van with a step through to a box rear that I can stand up in. Love that thing.
Also had a '77 crew cab dually for a slide in camper and towing. Towed great but my big problem was the amount of space it took up in my shop. It just didn't fit right with the others squares because of the width. Don't miss that.
I now haul the camper and K5's with an '84 crew cab SRW 3/4 ton with helper bags and rear sway bar added. Not quite as stable as the dually but it fits in the shop better.
Regarding 4 door ultra short box trucks....got rid of one recently. Useless box...I may have hauled a Xmas tree in it once.
Pics of old dually, current crew cab, and military van. Vans aren't cool, but they sure are handy.
