I personally would probably skip the 4x4 on a dually to get a lower camper & COG.
I’m really thinking the need for 4x4 through. My current Ram I never put it in 4 wheel. Worst “off-road” I will do is down Deschutes canyon and that is just gravel and washboard. I have the benefit of being retired, so I can pick and chose where and when I go. Biggest concern would be a wet and slippery boat ramp when I don’t have the weight of the camper on the rear axle.
I do need the Supercab/8’ bed configuration to fit by garage and turning radius for my house. I realize there are drawbacks vs crew cab/8’ bed but it’s just too long. I could do CC/ shortbed, but that limits my camper selection and is dicey on COG. I think SC/longbed is a better choice than CC/SB.
