I wanted the shortest truck I could get because I only pull the trailer for about a dozen days per year. I pull from Canada to Arizona, 1750miles in 4 days, then the trailer is parked for 3 months before I head back. For those three months, I use my truck to go shopping, golfing, sight seeing, etc. I don't want a dually for that.
I upgraded springs, tires, wheels to 1 ton spec. I am completely satisfied with every aspect of the towing and truck usage that I have. The truck is double cab, standard box, and fits inmy garage at home too.
Consider all your requirements, not just the TOW.
I understand wanting to use the truck that you already own to tow a camper. What I do not understand it the total lack of caring about matching your tow vehicle to the camper you want to tow. Your 3120 has a GVWR of 16000lbs. WELL beyond your trucks cargo capacity (which I guess to be around 2000lbs, (check the drivers door yellow sticker ). We are talking more that double its capacity, not just a little bit.
