daily drive Mega cab dually

looking at an 07 6.7 equip truck. Found 2 used ones with under 35k so thats got me excited. One is a 2500 and the other is a 3500 dually. Now the dually is about 3800k cheeper. From what ive always seen is the mileage isnt effected much maybe 1mpg. But driving an 06 mega sometimes it seemed that i was close on space as it was. So for those in bigger cities. how driviable is the dually? I wouldnt have much use for a dually as I dont have huge trailers. Small 5th wheel and small horse trailer.

Anyone know what the mileage diffrence is?

You may get tired of always having to remember about your fat fenders while driving on narrow roads or parking. I know I did and I really like not having those extra wheels now....

Really, if you don't have a requirement for the Dually, then I wouldn't get it. Those extra wheels really help if you pull large trailers, but snow traction is worse, and general everyday driving makes it a little more of a challenge, especially if you are going to be driving in the city alot.
