I would get a 3/4 ton truck and diesel if you can afford one.
bigger brakes, heavier frame and springs, bigger cooling system,

just my two cents, I have owned a 1/2 tom pulling a trailer and do not like to have to go 80 mph before every hill to make it up the hill.

always best to have more truck than you need, rather than less power.
