Would second all the responses in favor of a dually.
Would caution (but not disuade) you to anticipate higher costs associated with the dually. I am required to have commercial plates which cost much more. Annual state inspection much more expensive. Toll roads tack on a 50% premium for commercial tags (and others add on more for the dual rear wheels). Others have mentioned parking lot issues (probably not unique to duallys) tires and fuel, but my driving has become more conservative and get reasonable mileage and 80k miles out of my tires.
Get a dually. Budget accordingly.
