2013 or 2014 should be fine. I almost bought a 2012 Mega Cab DRW with 3.73 gears...until I found it only had 10,500 GVWR and 2600# payload. Pretty weak for a 3500 dually. But Dodge says the towing numbers for the 2013 should be substantially more than 2012.
The specs on this truck is a great example of how absurd some of the GVWRs our represented by manufacturers.
The rear base wt is ~ 3300 lbs.
The rear GAWR is 9350 lbs
2600 lbs payload... really???
Wouldn't you expect this Dually to be able to handle a pin wt considerably more than 2600 lbs and all the passengers?
