I agree with the comments that you do not have enough truck. I had a Dodge 2004 3500 diesel dually towing 16K and it was a little hairy going down big hills. Plus, I was not comfortable driving since I am 6'4" and weigh 280. So I went with what you see below. Is it overkill? Yes. But, the truck only cost me $29, not $60 for a new Dodge. It gets about the same mileage as my Dodge. With 300 gallon tanks, I usually can complete any trip without filling up. It is the same width as the rear of a dually, only a little longer and taller. I am comfortable with air ride seats and cab. I am within the law. And me and my family are safe. Plus, it is fun to drive. Yes, maintenance costs are a little more, but it is worth it compared to all the other advantages. Good luck....
