As you can see from our signature line, we went with the 1-ton Dodge Ram 3500, Cummins turbo diesel, 4X4. We selected the 3500 for the weight carrying capacity and the single rear wheel drive rather than a dually for several reasons: (1) has slightly higher towing capacity, (2) because it is my daily driver and I need to be able to maneuver and park in the city, wanted a short box which was not available in the dually, (3) those who have experience advised me that a dually is more difficult to handle in the snow ... an occupational hazard of living in the Great White North. So far we have been delighted with our choice. Regardless of whether you purchase a dually or SRW, I strongly recommend the 1-ton diesel, whether Ford, GM, or Dodge.
