"IF" you can find an F150 with the heaviest payload gvwr option, the 3.5eco boost. DO NOT get a fully loaded leather pkg crew cab, but the ext cab. You should not be low on power, low on suspension etc.
The GM has the highest base gvw of the three. You can get a 6.2L V8 that will also have more power than you will need for that trailer. Only issue, it does not have a turbo. So if at elevation, you will be down HP. That is where the eco boost in the ford is the better option. OR
If dodge makes a 7200-8000 gvwr rig as Ford and GM do, the little diesel in that one would be on par with the eco boost at elevation. I believe GM also has a turbo diesel in the newest of half tons too, and they have a turbo 4 cylinder gas motor. The gas does not have as much HP as i would like, but would probably work reasonably well. Not positive on the diesel GM.
if you go with the 8 lug 25 series trucks. That trailer in reality, needs the smallest motor offered. You do NOT NEED, altho WANT is another factor, the 400hp diesels to motor around in the 13-15K total lb relm.
