Fucked up Funeral

[The Afterbirth]

Dually trucks are not meant for mud running. They are meant for stability in load and hauling. I have not seen a dually that hasn't gotten stuck in the mud.
Dually 4x4 means nothing. That's why Ford doesn't make them. They MIGHT make dually 4x4 now but before they did you would have to get it done aftermarket and I think Quigly were the ones to go to do that

A good portion of that is fairly incorrect. You're right that they weren't meant for mud running, but unless you are in way more shit then you should take a vehicle in, you shouldn't get stuck. A dually 4x4 means exactly the same thing that any other 4x4 means...that it's 4 wheel drive. Regardless of what you may believe, having the ability to pull with those front 2 tires can mean the difference between sitting there and driving out of it. Ford does in fact make a factory 4x4 dually and I happen to own a 2000 model. They've made 4x4 models for ages...It may just be where you are from.

I've owned Ford Trucks since 1978, none of them dually's. I'm in the NY metro area and I don't know if they bothered to make or not make dually available with 4x4 a regional availability but I do know the last truck I bought new was my current 1999 F250 and at the time I was enquiring about a dually and they did not offer it in 4x4 then.Maybe it was only diesel without the availability?Can you enlighten me a little more on what I'm not up to snuff on? The truck I showed you is the '99 - it's a diesel and it's spec'd out for hauling horses, not a mud buggy. I've no need for a mud buggy and never will.

Granted you shouldn't get stuck if you know how to drive in mud but I assure you that I've pulled many dually's out of the mud where the other trucks had no problem getting through.

I also am aware that getting stuck is 99% the driver.

I can't say what they offer in NY since I've never lived there. I do know that Ford has offered the F350 Dually Diesel 4x4 from the factory since 1987 because my dad would buy one every 2-3 years. If they told you that you couldn't get a dually diesel 4x4 in '99 then someone lied to you since it was produced. (just one examplehttp://www.sellitnowmotors.com/classifieds/index.php?a=2&b=27271) Like I said, I can't say what is offered regionally and I know on some occasions my dad or myself would have to get trucks brought in from Wisconsin or Michigan.
Most people have no need for a 4x4 option on a dually. Living in South Texas where we get a fair amount of rainfall, the pastures get a little muddy and when you are having to haul a trailer in or out of there, it can help make things a little easier. You're right about people getting stuck though.

I'm not arguing that 4x4's are plausible for most people and especially in a dually, just that Ford does indeed make them and has for some time.
