Your GVWR is 16250 - pretty light for a 41' rig. That's about what my old 37' toy hauler weighed and it was fine with my 2004 CTD Ram. My current 5er is 19000 and it definitely wasn't OK with the 2004 Ram. In 2011 the Silverado 3500HD was the only one spec'd for that weight so I bought that, but I believe all the big 3 can handle 16250 now.
Buy a dually - you'll thank me.
The 2010 Ram 3500 Dually with a 4.10 was also Spec'ed to tow that weight. My HR had a. GVW of 16,950#, loaded to 16,050#
