Bummer dude. Hope y’all weren’t injured.
It’s even harder to swallow if someone totals an older vehicle of yours compared to newer, as it’s hard to recoup all the “value” of your vehicle if it’s in great shape and/or low miles.
For your described use, a diesel makes zero sense, and an older gasser like your considering, will do the job, “just ok.”
If you think you’ll have it for a long time and pulling that kind of weight, I’d personally rule out a 5.7 Hemi if going Mopar and I’d take a 6.2 Ford over a 6.0 GM.
Between the 6.4 Hemi and 6.2 Ford, it’s a coin flip, IMO.
If you were considering the cost of an equal year and miles diesel though, with that budget you might be able to squeak into a 6.4/8 speed Ram. But don’t test drive one back to back with the others unless you plan on coming home with it!!
