Is 16,000# the GVW of the 5er? For no more difference in price, I'd go with a 350/3500 SRW truck if you don't want a dually....My 5er weighs in at 16,200#, has a pin weight of 3400# just to give you an idea....I may go heavier one day, so I already have the truck for it.
The new 250/2500's have quite a bit of GCWR and GVWR has also gone up, so just do some simple math and use a little common sense to make your trip's safe...Check out RAWR on both trucks to see how much payload you can actually handle.
I like the dually for stability when towing in the mountains, but that's just me:)
