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.
No, those weights were with no water, and 20 gallons of fuel. I never tow with water. I have access to water where i camp so i never tow with it.. I used to, but my water tank bowed something awful so i stopped doing that.
Here is something i thought was interesting. Trailer completely unloaded, my axle weight was 6900 lbs in the rear. Fully loaded with quads/dirtbikes, and everything else. I was 7000 pounds on the rear axle. That didnt make much sense.
