Contrary to some folks thoughts the highlighted sentence is reality. The bigger the truck, the bigger the trailer leaves many folks scared or unable to try to pull/tow/navigate them.

DWs best friend's husband here in FL suddenly had cancer discovered and it went downhill quick. He can no longer drive his truck; 3/4 ton SRW and she can't/won't because she is afraid of it. Real life, real situations. He pulled a 40' 5th wheel.

The reality is that a "dually" is not the end all be all for everyone and in fact can cause severe problems in the right situation. In the situation above they are having 2 of their friends familiar with towing fly in to drive them, the truck and trailer back N. A dually won't fix any of it.
