You have more experience hauling than me, but I'd think a 3/4 single would easily handle the load, and provide a better ride the other 99% of the time you aren't hauling. With a low-range gearbox, pulling up ramps without burning the torque converter should be a piece of cake.

Thanks... but I have the 1 ton now... and will for a long time baring catastrophe. BTW, low range was one of the reasons for the 4x4. Actually, while yes the 4x system as a few hundred or a 1000 lbs of weight... its rolling resistance is not bad at all with Chrysler's front axle disconnect. But there is a little extra weight.
4x low range in granny with the Cummins... it'll walk that out at idle as most diesels will. You always start out a desiel on idle... even and especially with the semi at 80k. That's why it has gears.
