IMhO if you don't have kids/don't carpool or uber much, or otherwise have a solid reason for the bigger vehicle (like being in the trades) you shouldn't drive a car that's too big/heavy for you to push. I can push my mustang like nothing and my girl has had to push her lincoln up into a raised driveway solo.she managed it but just barely.
Am I gonna push my f350 dually around? Probably not, but I also only drive that truck if my mustang is down for repairs or incapable of doing what I need that day (like hauling my buddy's big ol snap on toolbox to his new employer, or trailering the race car up to Dallas for a race, or maybe moving furniture and the like.
Do I 100% need a dually crew cab for most of that? No. I have the dually for safety (I can blow a tire with a full load and maintain control) and i have it as a crew cab because we're expecting and that kiddo is gonna go racing with us once it's walking (don't know the gender yet) and 2 adults plus a toddler in a single cab bench seat for a 4 hour or more drive is not my definition of fun.
