Thanks for all of your input. Seems to be a hot topic with people on both sides of it. For me, I wish I had done more homework before spending so much on a 2500 truck since my intention has always been to buy a toy hauler. Even finding a lighter TH I am still exceeding my GAWR surprising.
So now I am in the market for a 1 ton. I am concerned about the dually as a daily commuter, do any of you use it as one? Also, any opinions on the SRW models? The new Dodge/Ram 3500 has a 4000+ lb cargo capacity.
I use a DRW drive for my daily driver and it is really no problem. Like others have stated here when I see a SRW truck pulling a large triple axle TH I just slow down when they're following me and let them pass. I know that if I had to stop in an emergency situation they would not come close to stopping as fast as I can. My dually included. I am within the ratings with my DRW to pull my trailer but even with electric over hydraulic disk trailer brakes is at the limits and beyond for my 1 ton DRW truck. IMO

Your Volvo running bobtail on a wet or icy road is more dangerous than an under sized truck pulling a TH. It has no weight on the rear axle. People need to stay away from you in those conditions.
Now that's funny right there! :) :R
