Don't rule out a GM or Ford with max trailer. It's not like the trailers you are looking at are beyond the capability of all 150/1500. Ram just has really low payload in their 1500. A properly equipped Ecoboost or chevy 6.2 8 speed would tow the **** out of a 7,000lb trailer and give you better empty ride and mileage than any 2500.
I tow with a Ram gas 2500. My toy hauler is 8k empty and 11k loaded up. Needed the payload as it has over 1600 lb tongue weight. Tows it just fine. Not as well as a diesel does, but I didn't expect it to. Empty ride is harsh compared to my 2012 f150 and mpg is 2mpg worse.
