Hello, from a retired Petroleum Engineer. I tell people to ask the opposite question. Do you need the 250/2500? I married a girl from New Jersey (long story) and due to parkways, neighborhood rules and hammer lane restrictions I need the badge on the side of the truck to be 250/2500. If you have this need, it can restrict your choice of trailer, otherwise get the one ton. Now, do you need the dually? By the way, a little weight in the back can help with the ride. I always carried 3 or 500 pounds of something, just to help the ride.
Or get a Ford or GM 3/4 ton and have the same truck minus some extra rear leaf spring capacity.
