Instead of Dodge, GMC, or Ford pickup trucks, I'm wondering about a medium size cab and chassis from Izuzu, or volvo, or freightliner?
Any and all advise appreciated
If you look you will see many folks towing 5ers with road tractors. And honestly, a good used one will go for less than a big 3 pickup. Plus the wheelbase on a single axle can be shorter than the WB on a pickup. From what I can tell. there really is no downside to using a road tractor to tow a 5er..
As for capacity, a Freightliner Volvo or Izuzu tractor as a daily chore tow more than 5ers weigh. And if you are thinking about durability. The GMC diesels are Izuzu.
Me, I'd pick the Freightliner for comfort.
