Good used diesels for a decent price are much harder to come by than good used 5vers for a good price, so keep your search on for the truck you want and if you find one snag it.
4wd yes. You'll get it back on resale and be glad you have it unless you stay on the pavement and no snow with the trailer.

There's my 2c.
