Towing

I agree than any 2011+ 3/4 ton truck will tow it very well and comfortably. So will some half tons, but you need to pay attention to some ratings and capacities in addition to tow rating.

So, 7k dry, 8k loaded. I expect that will be 1000-1100 pounds of loaded TW. Estimate how much you plan to put in the bed and cab and add that to the loaded TW to understand how much payload you will need.
