Lmao, tell me you truck cosplay without telling me.

The vast, vast majority of construction sites don't need a dualie. Hell, half of them don't need a truck. I've seen and met numerous plumbers, electricians, and carpenters who roll up in a van. My uncle was a GC for 40 years. My other uncle was a union pipe/sprinkler fitter. My cousin is an electrician. My other cousin owns a roofing company, and my pops is an architect who regularly makes site visits. None of them owned a work truck. The only one who does own a truck is the roofer who got a Raptor for fun.

The majority of truck owners do not haul large cargo. The majority of construction workers do not bring tools requiring a bed each day. Lawn crews use trailers for their actually large equipment. With fewer and fewer exceptions each year, trucks are increasingly bloated emotional support vehicles for insecure and obnoxious turds.

While you were right in calling that an exaggeration, the only people who I've ever seen use a dualie for real work were all towing horses.

Most construction people don't need a dualie because they're not hauling heavy equipment.

Need a skid steer, trencher, scissor, lift or other heavy equipment and you quickly enter dualie territory.

That being said, an F-250, F-350, F-450 are all essentially the same truck. Same engine. Mostly just stiffer suspensions on the heavier duty trucks.

Yes a van is all you need for that. To say you don’t need dualies at all is a joke. What happens is that the dualies are used for heavy equipment but then they double as a vehicle for employees and are given to them as a perk. As such dualies are seen driving around without “being used” or sitting in driveways of McMansions. But thats simply because it’s used as a perk for employees. Very few people are dropping $80k for a f-250 or bigger for cosplay.

Sometimes they need the bed to haul things that a f150 is fine for but they need the cab space to take 6 people plus their gear between jobs
