Misconceptions abound in your post.
The widest point on any truck is the mirrors.
Duallies are more stable.
Do you need a dually? NO! What you need for your current fiver is a 2500 long bed, either a ext or crew cab. The longer wheel base will handle your current fiver much better.
Fuel mileage will be no better or worse. It depends too much on engine,transmission and rear end gear ratio. The extra two tires will make so little difference, you will never see it.
Good point about the mirrors being the widest point! Makes sense! Also great points about fuel mileage. I agree a 2500 is enough, just still not sure if I want a 3/4 ton again. I'll keep thinking on it!
