Would you give this a go?
I have a 2006 Explorer with the tow package. Class 3 hitch, transcooler, 7 pin, 3.73 gears. GCWR 10,000lbs. The charts say max loaded trailer weight of 5210. The TT weighs 3500lbs. It is a Fun Finde...

....and why not? As long as the OP remains within the TVs ratings and it is set up properly with a good hitch then there is no reason why it couldn't be done safely. Not everyone needs a 1 ton dually.
Are there better vehicles out there? Sure. Will the OP want more? Maybe. Only way to know for sure is to give it a try. Every one has a different level of comfort. What may be ok for some won't be for others, but there is no reason why the above set up (if kept within limits)won't be safe.
Never said he needs a 1-ton dually only indicated that the combination they have is something that cannot be towed safely...
