    You are in 3500 diesel territory. My 2500 HD has a payload of 2600lbs.

    Those being dry weights....go 350/3500 series....single rear wheel will be fine.

    Any new 3/4 ton if properly equipped would handle it but do yourself a favor and go to a 1 ton SRW truck. Doesn't really cost much more and has more payload/GVWR capacity.
