The debate between srw and drw is senseless in my opinion. You either need the extra weight carrying capacity or you don't. What am I missing here ? It all comes down to payload.

I don't think so. If you're using your truck strictly for hauling a trailer a dually will be more stable than a SRW in most cases, as almost all posters have noted. In many cases a daully isn't needed, but is generally considered to be a more stable platform. Especially as you near the upper limit of a SRW truck. It may still be within it's specs, but the dually will be a better match.

So I would say, no it doesn't "all come down to payload."

And I'm discussing only used for towing.

Maybe I am speaking too literal for you. I'm not debating that a drw isn't more stable any idiot can tell that. A dually is definetely more stable usually because it has a heavier spring pack and sway bar then it's srw counterpart.
SRW can have the same spring packs and sway bars as a dually if ordered that way or upgraded with aftermarket components. They will feel virtually the same towing the same load.
My point is generally speaking the dually was designed to offer more payload. With it of course comes more stability because it has an extra tire. I just don't get how there's even an arguement.
There is twice the amount of tires in the back. It's more stable and is legally able to carry more.
Now that's not to say that a srw truck is perfectly capable of carrying up to its max GVWR or above. I've towed with both and have gone back to srw.
