Any truck with about 1800 to 2200 lbs of payload depending on the weight of your family and anything else you want to carry in the truck. Realistically you are looking at 1200 lbs of tongue weight (10,000 lbs x 12 percent). Anything else you load in the truck including you, your wife, kids, dog, firewood you add to the 1200 lbs to get the sum total of how much payload you need. Find a truck with that payload rating and your good to go. Find a trailer with less weight or don't load it to its GVWR and you need less payload and hence less truck.
