Strong recommendation that you skip the 250/2500 series and go straight to a 350/3500. You pick the manufacturer. They are all good, especially if you buy new or late model.
Good luck with your choice.
I would echo this - at least consider it. The difference in cost between most 3/4 tons and 1 tons can be relatively minimal. If someone is driving it daily on city roads and to and from the office, I can see why they might lean towards the 3/4 ton (we might, in fact, when it comes time to replace our 2500 'Burb). With your usage, however, the more rigid features of a 1 ton will only help.
