I think this topic will find people on both sides of the fence. Doesn't mean the gassers are wrong or right, doesn't mean the SRW vs DRW are wrong or right either.
It really comes down to what you are comfortable driving. If an extra pair of wheels is overwhelming, then get the SRW.
I have been driving a dually for 20 years and I love it. I have no issues at all in any traffic situation. Took a little caution to get used to it at first, but now it's like driving my car. As said, the mirrors are wider than the fenders. If they will go through, so will the rest of the truck.
Not saying I am right, but my own personal preference is towing with a dually. I have driven and towed with both and I find the extra stability in wind to be a comforting plus. I tow a 32 foot TT with mine at about 8000 - 8500 pounds on the road. It's nice.
Parking is no big deal, I usually back in to spots. Or walk a little. Not afraid of either. Just have to pay attention to the hips in your mirrors and all is well.
I personally prefer the diesel for the stump pulling torque going up hills.
The 17 Ram diesel you are looking at has a fantastic engine. The Cummins is one of the best truck diesels out there.
