I wished I would have bought the dually sooner.
Owned it for two years and for pulling the dump trailers it works way better than both the SRW and SUV. The fuel mileage is low though but the peace of mind while towing 15-18K lbs is worth it.
Good news for me is there's no tolls in Minnesota!
As far as tires are concerned I wanted to go to 22.5's for a long time until I realized the cost $4,500 for a baseline combo and the fact that my wheels are like magnets to nails and screws at the dump. You can of course go with 19.5's like previously mentioned and there's even one company who makes direct bolt on 19.5's so you don't need to run adaptors. Or of course you could go all out and run 24.5's but you will need a 8 inch lift minumal. I opted for LT255/85/16D1 Dunlop Radial Rover RV XT. Paid $22 each extra for a warranty that covers replacement for unrepairable damage and if the tires gets 3 punctures. I'm gonna guess money I will be using the warranty. Free plugs, rotation, and balancing too.
