If that is all the bigger you are going boat wise you will be fine with a SRW. Virtually zero price difference in the 3500 vs 2500 so I would go 3500 SRW.

I have an 08 Dodge Laramie 3500 SRW it pulls my 36' Apache (Heavy SOB) no problem. The exhaust brake is another must have. You hardly even have to use your breaks with that baby turned on.

I daily Drive my truck - I would say that depending on where you live I am of the opinion that there is no reason NOT to go with the dually.

The only downfall in my opinion is that if you ever need to service it, the parking brake is in the rear hub.

just my .02
