You don't need a 3/4 ton truck to tow a <3000lbs cargo trailer around and it certainly won't have a more comfortable chassis than a mid-size SUV. The stiff suspension of the bigger trucks will shake and rattle the******out of that little trailer.

It's simply overkill when just about any mid-size SUV would suffice.
APT must really have something against "imports", not sure why. OP has his reasons for not wanting a domestic as others do for not wanting an import. Don't know why these forums always have to turn into a sales pitch when a poster says they don't want certain brands. Nothing wrong with the American made Tundra if he needed a truck ;)
This I don't understand. Sell him on a domestic with a diesel because fuel mileage will be better but then finish with suggesting a 3/4 ton with a 6.0 gasser? The same money will get you into a nice Tundra of that puts out more HP and torque than the 6.0 and will get better mileage while doing it. OP is towing a small trailer, he doesn't need the extra payload. Just say'in

$15k can get you into a 2010 GM 3/4 ton 6.0L/6-spd trans under 50k miles
