The question would be "How much money do you have?".......
I towed the racecar with both a 1/2 ton and my current duramax 3/4 ton and there was no comparison. Even with an add-a-leaf on the 1/2 ton it was night and day. With the diesel sometimes I'd look in the rearview mirror and be startled for a split second thinking somebody was tailgating. I would literally forget I was towing!!
A Ford/Chevy/Dodge 3/4-ton 4x diesel is gunna be nearly $100k if you want one that is loaded with options. The other thing is the required DEF additive gets to be a real pain in the ass. So glad mine was pre-DEF.
I'd think a gas 3/4 would prolly suit you well. I think a dually is an over kill, living where I do I see 3/4-ton trucks pulling trailers that are the size of a school bus. I'm close to the Black Oak Casino and their RV park is packed all summer so I see lots. The other thing about a dually is they can be a nightmare to drive around town with the tail end width. Your wife will never want to drive it and parking them in the Home Depot lot or the grocery store? Forget it. It's another 4' in width dam near so driveway space gets to be a nightmare unless you have property. As I recall your house has a regular 2 car DW.
New or used? Be interested to hear in what you end up with.
If up this way you are welcome to drive mine, but then you won't want a gas model....
