Thanks for the feedback folks.
Since I originally posted my question I have begun to rethink the purchase of a 1-Ton Dually 4x4. Mostly because the GVW of the to truck is much less than the Lakota. I visited the local Ford dealership today and now have reconcidered going with a F550 with a Cummings 360hp, a Crew Cab and 4x4 air ride with a custom deck for the 5th wheel hitch. The GVW of the truck alone is 19,000 with 22 inch tires and well capable of the load limits. As for the 4x4 I do enjoy exploring the desert and other areas where 4x4's are permitted. And I don't care for using Chains in some of the mountain passes where I can as easily go into 4x4.
