The half ton trucks with the big V8's would be a step up. If you like SUV's the bigger SUV's like the Armada, Expedition, or Tahoe type SUV's would do well as well.

Pay close attention to some very good advice above. We spent years camping with another family that pulled a 21' ultra-lite with a 2004 4wd 4.7 Dodge. The truck was built for mileage, with very high rears, and it was absolutely pathetic watching how poorly it towed a very small, light travel trailer. You could end up "upgrading" and gaining zero in towing ability and losing 4WD.
