LOL, this is on every board, the only truck that can tow a 5'er is a dually.

However, I think with the size of the 5'ers, and height, a dually would do much better in towing a 5'er. Does one need one to tow a 5'er? No.

With the new tow ratings for all 3, at this point a 1 ton are the only ones with the payload to tow the 5'ers of today. The payloads have drastically dropped on the '16 models of all 3 makes
