Trailer getting away video
Here is a GOOD video of what happens when something goes wrong towing even with a heavy duty pick-up, but yeah, you can tow stupid amounts of weight with 1/2 tons as long as you don't go real far

Perfect example of why I dont tow any faster than 50-55mph at any time. Too many things can happen, even at 55. Atleast at 50-55 you may be able to slow down faster and hopefully control a situation. I hear of guys towing their stuff 75 or faster. Not me.....

Perfect Video to prove my point that a DUALLY is NOT more stable then a single wheel.
The trailer pivoted on the hitch ball like I have said in the past. The dually truck would only help with Payload in the bed, like a slide in camper.
Duallys are more for peoples EGOS then anything! LOL!

I'm sure a pin on a fifth wheel wouldn't allow the trailer to roll without making the truck roll too and dually rears would definitely keep it more stable in that case.
