A dually is needed when ever the rear axle weight is exceed, the gvwr of tow vehicle is exceed. All the new trucks are more than capable of pulling that trailer.questions arise when the trucks ratings are over the limits.. a truck may be rated to pull 18000lbs..However. if the pin weight, passengers, stuff in the truck push it over ratings, YES, A DUALLY IS CALLED FOR..or, smaller trailer.
3/4 tons gvwr are about 10000 lbs..1 tons are 12300 thereabouts, Duallys like the ram has a gvwr of 14000 lbs. With us in the truck and hitch. Fuel we are at 9000lbs. Leaving 5000 lbs of leeway..
