If you need duals I would choose the Ram over the Ford because with Ram I believe you can choose duals and still get a 3:42 rear axle so I wouldn't expect the fuel economy to drop as much. My srw Ford is not great on fuel and the 3:73 gears and smaller tires of the dually would likely make it terrible.
I know a lot of folks tow fifth wheels with pin weights of 2500 or more pounds with 250/2500 trucks; if they tried out the dually I am sure the experience would be even more stable.
I've got both SRW and DRW and my SRW is just as stable towing the same load. The DRW can just handle my tongue weight.
Your SRW will be just as stable while handling the same load as long as it does not exceed the SRW load maximum. It also sounds like your SRW will not handle the tongue weight you need so the dually is required.
So are you telling me the SRW is just as stable overloaded as the DRW within its limits?
