I have a big garage and shop, a bit of property and live in an area where a larger vehicle isn't a hindrance so I'd personally lean toward a fullsize truck. The cost difference should be minimal and you get a lot more space and better towing. Of what's on the market right now and based off limited knowledge my inclination would be either an F150 or the new Tundra if I were buying a half ton.
If I were going to get midsize truck I'd without question get a Tacoma. With the resale values those trucks have they should be by far the cheapest option in the long run. Plus they're really reliable and nice trucks. Might be a little light depending on how heavy you load the trailer and truck.
Any HD truck would of course tow much better than a midsize or half ton, but there's no reason you'd need one for that size trailer. The reason you may consider one is future proofing in case you want to get a larger trailer later on.
