I drive a dually crew cab. My reasons are that I like to carry alot in the bed of the truck - sometimes an ATV, sometimes my motorcycle, other times my generator and a whole lot of other stuff. With the dually, pulling a 327RKS (and a Mallard 30E in the past) I have always been able to load up with out worrying about being too heavy. At the time I purchased my truck the only 1 tons that were avalible from Chevy were the duallies. I understand you can now get a 1 ton crew cab thats not a dually from Chevy. I might consider it next time. I have 108000 on the truck now. At 65 - 70 I turn around 2100 rpms get between 7 and 9 gpm and drive in overdrive all the time with no problems. I figure maybe another 100,000 miles and it will be time to get another. Unless of course I find something I really like better then all bets are off. As for listening and believing what your truck dealer tells you beware. Some of them have a hard enough time telling the difference between a SUV and Truck let alone knowing anything about tow vehicles.
