The big thing for us was the larger fuel tank so we always have some fuel to spare. When we had our first TV (short bed) and 5er we got into a really scary situation when we almost ran out of fuel and had to stop in a very hilly old town with narrow streets. We almost didn't get out of the service station. We also, like others, wanted extra room in the bed of the truck (to carry my electric cart) and went with the dually for stability and not having to worry so much about weight. I'm getting real good at driving Brutus and it is amazing how many people will stop and help if I'm having trouble backing out of a parking space! We have also found a long bed very useful for moving things and helping the kids move. And we can have a tool box.
Happy trails.......................
