This has the potential to spiral out of control. If I was buying new I would consider any of the 3/4 or 1 ton trucks out there. I would consider the 3/4 ton becuase you never know what kind of deal you might be able to get.

Dually for these weights is WAAAAAAAY overkill in my opinion and just costs a lot more in tires and makes it that more interesting to park.
