Plan on buying two trucks.
First, buy a 3/4 ton or SRW 1 ton. As stated any of them made in the last 5 years are more than up to the task of towing that trailer on paper.
HOWEVER, only you will be able to determine if you are comfortable with it, and then only after you've had a chance to experience driving the rig in real world conditions. All the opinions here are meaningless in your situation because everyone has different ideas of what constitutes "issues," different ideas of how a vehicle should handle, different expectations of how a vehicle should stop.
What's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander...
Maybe you'll get it right first time around. Maybe you'll HATE it, for whatever reason, rational or irrational. There's no way to know until you try it.
Keep the possibility of having to upgrade to a DRW for whatever reason on the back burner.
