Robbe: Here is the problem as I see it with the diesel dually. First off the driveline ratios being installed in pickups and duallys are not very efficient. As run about hauling no load, driving, they should be giving 40 mpg. They will not do that. You can actually buy a full size International or Freightliner with 20" wheels, 15,500# rear and 6,000# front axle, 5 speed transmission and one of the many inline 6 cylinder diesels, for less money than the dually. For only a few more dollars than the diesel dually you can actually buy a truck with 18,500# rear, 6,000# front, 20"wheels, air brakes, 10 speed and DT 466. These heavy trucks will give you a far more efficient hauler.
