Does anyone here daily drive there dually?

Mine's my daily driver.
Like others have said, some parking spots are too small - although most of them are just too short, not too narrow.
On the plus side, if there's a question about who has the right of way - I have the right of way.

My dually is my daily driver too, but I live in Finland and our lanes are usually as wide as my dually,or couple inches wider than my dually, so it's really wide in here(my dually is about 6inches wider than stock).
But I dont have any complains. I love it because it's big and I really get some looks and attention here with it . + that's a big pro that you can see on the mirros where your rear wheels are going.

I drive mine daily and love driving it, its so stable and I feel safer in this big truck compared to commuting in a small car. The only downside for me is like everyone mentioned parking and drive-thrus. Although I normally go in anyhow since the truck is normally too loud for them to hear me.

Drive everywhere I go. I have my own business so it's my office. Size does matter, people don't try to crowd or contest the right of way. Even in Mexico they get out of the way. Parking is no problem since I have the 4x4 most doors can't ding mine and if I think they can I park with the flatbed beside their door. My wife thought her Yukon XL was big untill she parked next to me and saw mine was about 4ft longer. She gripes about parking the Yukon so I said drive mine for a while yours will be easy after that. I guess I'm kind of used to it, parking, length, and width. As you see in my sig this is my 8th dually.

Mine is a daily driver too. No problems with getting around or parking. Always back into a parking spot and take it slow in the parking garages.
I even took it to downtown San Fransisco in a little triangular parking garage with just a inch of clearance above the roof and one inch of side clearance when pulling out of the garage through the pay station. The attendant's jaw dropped when he saw me driving up and asked how did I get the truck into the garage and how did I get it turned around and where did I park it since none of the spaces are big enough for it. I said no problem and I found a space.
Just remember that the mirrors are wider than the ears in the back. If your mirrors fit, your ears will follow.
The only disadvantage is people don't like following because they cannot see around and will pass you no matter how fast your are driving.

I drive mine daily as well. Dually's handle curves and corners like they're riding on rails.
As far as drive thrus go, when they ask to shut off the engine because they can't understand me, I yell back "What? I can't hear you!" I usually just pull up to the window or just go in to order anyway.
