Dude, don't do it! You can never have too much truck! When I got my F250 I never towed anything over a few thousand pounds and it was definitely overkill. I mean people used to ask me, "what do you tow with that thing?" And my smartazz response was "whatever I want!" Knowing full well that in reality the truck was way more than I needed. I just WANTED a diesel, crew cab, 4wd ford.
Look at me now, 5 years later I'm towing a 38' 5th wheel and wish I'd had the foresight to get a dually back then. As it is, I can't afford another truck (this one is paid off) and other than towing overweight this truck has never given me a reason to replace it.
All I'm getting at is that you may not NEED the dually right now. But a few years from now you may seriously regret putting the time and money into REDUCING the capability of your truck.
