I pull a 16,500 lb GVW 5th wheel with a 2012 Ford F350 SRW diesel maxed out with factory suspension options with absolutely no problem. I have over 20000 miles pulling the trailer in all kinds of highways and mountains. The CGVW is 200 lbs over Ford specs while the axles weights and carrying capacities are well under spec. I see no need to go dually unless the trailer is in the 18000+ gvw. I would say that the trailer suspension with 7000 lb axles is much weaker than my truck :-)
