Couple other things I thought about.

Cost - double check your numbers because it should be closer to $40k.

MPG - Figure about 10-11 towing, 12-14 around the house, and about 18 on the open highway @ 65 mph. A 1/2 ton will get significantly higher mileage.

TT - for the trailer you describe, a 1/2 ton will easily be able to handle the weight.
