Having sold our 03 dually in the market for a newer truck for towing our 5th wheel. we now spend winters in florida so see no need for 4wd is there any advantage to hauling w/4wd over 2wd are frames ...

4wd is actually a misnomer. It's not 4wd it's really 2wd, one in the front and one in the back unless you have limited slip in both pigs (which is rare) most are rear only, the front pig is open spool.
If you have limited slip in back, then it's 3 wheel drive.
I have lockers front and back so I'm true 4wd bit that is rare today and it's aftermarket.
Resale value on a '4wd' is always better but then the maintenance is higher too and conversely, load carrying capacity drops with a 4wd versus a 2wd. Most people never take that into consideration.
