There's a few reasons. #1 is towing stability. An 85mph crosswind in lubbock with a load isn't as fun as it sounds. I'm gonna be towing a lot next year and would like to have stability a dually gives. I've driven many duallys in the past and even owned one at one time. I miss the stability more than anything

#2 is appearance. This is a part of the reason but a VERY small part at that. I need a 4x4 and getting another truck is out of the question. I love the look of a 4x4 dually with a skirted flatbed. It's basically gonna be like this but with a flatbed

There's a few more but it's kind of long winded so I'll leave it at this

Yes the same pics actually. It sucks they aren't in production anymore. Those are really the ones I wanted but unless I get lucky at a junkyard or on Craigslist I will settle for something else

I'm leaning towards the Eagle alloy 129 series
