Everyone here is saying just get a 3/4 ton well just for anyone that isn't aware you can get SRW 1 tons also...

Dual rear wheels only really excel when you are towing a HEAVY goose neck, like a 40' horse trailer for example. That much weight on SRW and you are going to blow a tire or maybe both out at somepoint. If you are towing on a hitch don't waste your time or money on duals, the added trouble of dual rears isn't worth it.
