The best half ton truck you can buy is the F150 with 3.5 Ecoboost (comes with the 10 speed transmission), and Heavy Duty Payload Package (HDPP). Best tow vehicle made in the 1/2 ton. If buying new it will have to be ordered and be pricey but well worth it. If buying used, you will never find one with the HDPP.
This all won't be necessary for a 23-foot trailer, but if you ever plan on going bigger (like 28-feet), it would be wise to buy the truck you will need later, now; rather then buying something now, that doesn't work later.
P.S. - I camp in all kinds of NP, SP, Private parks, etc. and never had a problem fitting in with 25-feet and 28-feet trailers.
