Everyone's preference is a personal choice. Many people have trucks that could pull twice the weight of what they are actually carrying while others are overloaded.

This is what I did. I have an 2010 F350 6.4L diesel with 3.73 gears dually and tow a 38' mobile suites. I had everything weighed, loaded and I'm 500 pounds over. Some will tell you I should have 4.11 or higher gears. I like the 3.73 gear because of fuel economy. I get 9 towing and 13.5 to 14 highway. I think that is good considering the truck weighs almost 10,000 pounds. Yes, it takes me longer to get over the mountains then my friends but I manage. I also like the ride on the F350 vs F450. Very smooth with or without the RV.

My recommendation would be to go with the 3500 diesel, single wheel. You will be very pleased.
