Personally I'd go to a dually with that weight.
They also state they're planning on going "full time"...also added that 5er they're looking at has a GVW of 15,500#, (1500 more than the 14K in example)..I would think, going full time, it'll be pretty well loaded...I agree that 2500 and 3500 SRW, back then, difference was the overload leaf...(tires on my 2500 were the same "E" rated tire found on a 3500 back in 03', I know because I looked at both, tires at that time, were identical.)
