I don't think you need a dually but 4wd wouldn't hurt...

I own both and feel the single rear wheel tows as good as a dually. If you have a lot of weight over the rear axle (5000lbs+) you might like the dually better. That would require a load in the bed or a gooseneck/fifth wheel hitch. A tag/bumper pull style hitch does not have enough tongue weight (even a 46 black thunder does not have enough) to require a dually or even notice a difference in my opinion. I also hate dually's in the snow! Air bags will help sway along with properly inflated HD tires. I think the person behind the wheel makes all the difference! Does not matter how "overbuilt" your truck is, if you can't drive or don't have enough expierence!

Have you driven a 4x4 with the Kelderman air ride?

Whether you like a dually or not, the most important, and most overlooked, aspect of towing is staying within the rated limits of your truck for insurance purposes. Sydwayz has emphasized this point over and over again and it cannot be stressed enough. There can be serious consequences for overloading your tow vehicle.
