There is no way I will be getting a duly anytime soon so I will have to change what I am looking for all together. Perhaps a toy hauler travel trailer but more than likely just a smaller regular fifth wheel. The toy hauler was really just for our golf cart anyway and my wife likes the regular fifth wheels better. It looks like we may have to stick to the bicycles and/or scooters or something!

You are very welcome. I wish someone would have kicked me in the seat of the pants BEFORE I bought the truck that I bought and told me I was making a mistake. The problem is, as I recall, I probably didn't ask anyone, so how would they know? As far as a daily driver, I don't even drive my F250 as a daily driver.....I have a Honda Civic that gets like 36-37 mpg, but then again, I drive 82 miles round trip to work and home. That might be a possibility for you.....A Dually for the T.H. and ocassional use, and a smaller used or new car for work....whatever you are comfortable with. That way you could still get the 5ver that you want, have enough truck to haul it safely, and still be able to have a smaller car for work......just something to think about.
