I think the trucks wheelbase is likely a bigger factor than anything else. A dually will certainly improve the driving characteristics and seat comfort but I think a new SRW one ton is more than enough truck.
I am assuming you weighed with full water and fuel. If that's the case than a SRW is more than enough truck- just don't fill with water until you reach or get close to your destination and you will knock a thousand pounds of weight off right there. Not sure on your fuel capacity but if your holds 60 gallons like mine you can knock another 500 pounds off by waiting to fuel until you are closer too.
