I currently have a 2021 6.7 LH 3.73 SRW with 14,500 miles. Ordered truck in paint, 2022 6.7 HO LH 4.11 DRW. Never drove a DRW and not sure I want to drive on daily basis. Primary purpose is to haul large RV. Expensive proposition to keep both. Anybody drive a dually for daily use.
 
Yep, I drive my Dually everyday & Love it. This is my 2nd Dually, 3rd Cummins in-a-row & 5th Ram. I have Zero issue as a daily driver. Not sure why anyone would be really. Maybe I park a little farther away from others & usually back into. Parking spot. But other than that, no problems at all.
Also I have the 8’ bed too & still no problems.

Driving a dually daily is not much different, not worth an extra vehicle payment to avoid.
 
When you include the mirrors a DRW is no wider than a SRW. Track width is about 12" wider overall. Unless you live in the middle of a city, likley not any more inconvicence from a size perspective.

Turning circle is.....yeah, unladen comfort is still better than my old Sierra 2500 with the torsion beam. Easily able to daily.
 
drove a dually daily for 15 years...when gas/diesel got sky high about 10yrs ago (and we thought $4 diesel was high) I did the math and buying a run around car would pay for itself since my daily commute was about 175 miles round trip. I'd prefer driving the truck daily but it's hard to justify it financially when I'm not hauling/pulling anything.

like others have said, sure may need/want to park about 6-8 spaces further out than you could with a smaller truck, but that just means I can leave easier as I'd look for places to just pull through to park
