Well only you can really decide but you need to go get some information before you can decide. Load your truck up with fuel, passengers, and gear you will taking with you in the truck. Go to a CAT scale and get front and rear axle weight. Now look on your driver door sticker for the Rear Axle Weight Rating. Subtract the real wieght from the wieght rating. That is the maximum FW pin wieght you can legally have on the truck (Axle wieght ratings are US Federal Law. Manufacturers GVWR and Payload are not)
Now go look up the GVWR of the TH. Divide that wieght by 5 (pin wieght is typically 20% of GVWR). If that number is less than calculated above your legal but still might exceed GVWR of the truck
My guess is a 3/4 is not legally capable of carrying that TH but can only determine that by doing the math above. My guess is also that TH actually requires a dually to carry it.
Please explain your use of the word "legally" and who says the TH "requires" a dually? Unless you're a commercial operator, nobody gives a rat's behind how heavy you are. However, I do agree with where you're coming from - the OP shouldn't overload his truck but it ain't against no laws.
