just trampin...check your numbers, it looks like you are using empty weights. My 3400 has a loaded PW of 2500# plus I carry about 1000# of other 'stuff' (hitch weight, passengers, extra fuel, tools, etc). That 3500# weight in the truck is over all GM 3/4 and one ton srw trucks...don't know about Dodge or Ford. Run some loaded weights then check the truck numbers.
IMHO, the reason to have a dually is to haul the Montana very safely and stay within specs. Reasons like 'it won't fit through the car wash' and 'it's too wide to go through McDonalds' have no place in the discussion. If they are reasons for not owning a dually, then the driver should get a smaller trailer.
