Going to look at new 1500 crew cabs today
Tired of looking at all the junk around here used. Heck, they want $25k for 75-100k mile later model stuff. I'm seeing Chevys at $31k, Nissan Titans at $28-31k, Fords are 8-12K off. I would have to...

I would look at the Ford, Chevy, and Tundra and make your decision on which one you like the best and the current incentives that are being offered. All 3 are good trucks.
The downside for the Tundra is that it is now 6 years old and getting a bit long in the tooth and due for a redesign in 2014. The Ford and Chevy have a nicer interior than the Tundra, an area Toyota lags behind it. Having said that, I've been very pleased with my 2007 Tundra Crew Max as it's an awesome tow vehicle IMO with 381 HP and 401 ft lbs of torque.
The Tundra also only comes with a 26 gal gas tank which some don't like but has never been an issue with me.
The rear end ratios are much different know then in the old days because everybody runs a 6 sp trans now. That's the reason Toyota can get a way with the 4.30 rear end and still get decent gas mileage.
The 3/4 ton suggestion is a good one and will open up a wider range of trailers for you if you can get a good price on one.
Good luck in your search.
