If your EVER going to tow ANY thing YOU Defiantly DON'T want 35" mud tiers!!!!!!!!!
You will wreck and die! Other than that the sky is the limit.
"" the single rear vs duel rear decision"" If your only going to pull a 24 Aluminum boat you don't NEED duels. If you pulled one across country all the time they may help. In the snow you will be very disappointed with them, you can't get traction with duels or very wide tires. Gas/diesel I'd go with diesel even though the $$$ is higher for the truck and fuel. PERSONALY I would never consider the Dodge. The Ford is a far better tow truck and the GM is way better then the Dodge, In my mind... Get a Double cab if your going to outfit, your "Clients" will appreciate the room and won't think your cheep! Bottom line get as much truck as you can get,and remember you will be towing only about 10% of the time and 90% of the time you need a car with a 8' bed.
