Figuring a 4klb pin weight give er take, anything from a SrW 350/3500 on up would work well. Bigger the truck, the more stable it will be.
I'll stay out of the brand wars but suggest you think about how many hours a year you'll be sitting in it as a daily driver vs hours behind the wheel with the 5ver in the back. As well, your intended use. I.e. Are you planning on Alaska trips and running through the mountains both back east and out west? Or are the trips FL to the Midwest and back?
Since you're already set on a dually, that analysis isn't as critical, but unless I was towing ALOT, I'd opt for a 350/3500 that you could air down the tires when using it as a DD vs a truck with factory 19.5s.
Time you put in a hitch and other stuff in the truck, no SRW with stock tires is going to be able to handle 4K of pin weight. Chris
