You do not need a "monster" truck to tow a 5er. Truck tow ratings have increased dramatically in recent years. Many 5ers fall within the ratings of 250/2500 pickups. And ratings for 350/3500 SRW trucks will handle many many more 5ers. A dully is not required by weight until you get into the heaviest 5ers. Wanting a dually vs needing a dully, as many do, is another matter.
this is exactly why I recommend figuring out what 5er you want/need then buy the truck to fit. if you don't need a real truck and a Scrawny one will suffice, go for it. if you want a more capable vehicle, then buy it.
