Your right that is a little different scenario.
I'm more or less OK with the SRW for what you are proposing however 18K combined becomes a lot of weight for the SRW to stop....Especially a panic stop.
In the end the main reason to get a dually is for the additional braking power.
Additional braking power?
Maybe you can expound on how a srw vs a dually (same truck/model, apples to apples) has different braking power. And don't go down the less tires = less braking power. I'd challenge the ability to lock up the wheels on a srw with a big load in the back.
That said, I'm the antithesis of the weight cops on here and could or would tow virtually anything able to be towed with a dually, with a srw provided it wasn't seriously overloading the truck chassis.
BUT, if there was ever a case for having training wheels on a pickup truck, towing a significant set of doubles is it.
