Clarification on tow capacity
If a vehicle says it's tow capacity is 9,000 lbs what does that 9,000 pounds include? Obviously the TT plus whatever we have in it and the water in it... But what else?

If you really want to do it right from the start, decide today exactly how much trailer is going to be your limit. 25 feet? 30 feet? Then get started looking at those sizes of trailers. Pick the worst case scenario and go buy a truck that matches that criteria. Personally I quit looking at 1/2 ton trucks years ago. Buying 3/4 ton trucks is not that expensive and you are ensured of having an adequate platform for towing any TT and some smaller fifth wheels. Besides I really like the stronger frames, better axles,tires,wheels you get with the bigger truck.
