It all depends on how much trailer you want. 2500 series will be good for up to around 12,000 pounds GVWR trailer. There are a lot of variables of course. Gas, diesel, single cab, crew cab all come into play.
Generally speaking a 3500 series is a much better choice for towing anything. Especially in the oil fields how much stuff are you going to be loading into the truck? If you put much in the truck the tow ratings go down dramatically.
Modern 3500s ride about as good as a 5 year old 2500. Manufacturers are always tweaking that stuff.
Nothing, it will be empty.
