Hard to ddisagree on your points. Reality is, most 25 series trucks are more capable than a dually from pre 2000 or so.
I've run down the road in the 10-12k range with the 2000. That's about max, based on graw, and front ability. The new ones do have another 2000 lbs of axle capacity. They still weigh more. Sit higher etc. For a lot of us, that 8600-9000 lb truck like the 2000 I drive is nice. My 05 max dually CC had 400 more lbs of payload per door sticker....it would carry a lot more. I could easily put 7-8000 in the bed.
