Well we don't have the Crew Cab, but we do have the Extended Cab, Long (8') Box Diesel Dually (only a few inches (9") shorter than the CC) and haven't had a problem driving around town. Yes you might have to park out a little farther in the Wally World lot, but we need the exersise anyway. To each their own. We love ours and it fits the bill to haul our rig and buy the groceries.

Kind of how I feel about my crew cab, 8' bed F-250... it is not a problem around town unless I'm concerned about parking up front at Wally World...
but have you noticed that no matter how far out in the boonies you park someone is always gonna hem you in....

Someone could make a mint building these, and I'd be one of the buyers.

GMC 3500 duramax dually
Lee, I bought an 2010 MP300 Raptor, at the time I had a 3/4 ton 2006 dodge ram diesel, I had a chip installed so the power was great but the breaking was on the weak side especially in the mountains, last year I bought a 2012 GMC Seirra 3500 SLT Dually with the duramax and allison transmission, What a difference!!!! tons of power and with the allison transmisson and engine breaking it keeps me at a constant speed going down steep hills and on a hill with less grade will slow me down. I would say I'm around 15,000lbs when I'm loaded. The duals really stop the side to side swaying in the wind as well. couldn't be happier
