The 3/4t trucks exist because there is 10k lb GVWR threshold when used for business which requires additional expense. The 1t and 3/4t really are the same truck with lower rated tires and and softer springs. Yes, the 3/4t may ride slightly better unloaded than the 1t, but it may be hard to tell the difference unless it is side by side.
The enclosed trailers come in many different lengths and widths. If you go with a 7' wide one, it will only be slightly wider than the truck. Get one with tandem axles that have the springs over the axles for additional ground clearance. A 16' or 18' model with front bath will give you a surprising amount of room due to the open floor design. Adding some windows will keep it from feeling liked you are in a box.
The pod trailers come many sizes today. Some are small enough to be towed by an economy car and have an outdoor kitchen and no bath while others have all the amenities inside and need a 1/2t truck.
