Not saying you will find either of these.
GM has a 1500 with a 6.2 V8 with more HP torque than a 23/35 series truck. I know of one person pulling a 12kbboat from E Was over Stevens pass at 50+ on 4-5% grades. That is plenty fast for that road. An interstate would be 60'ish.
The other, probably a better chassis setup. Ford's F150 has an 8400 gvw option with the 3.5 Ecoboost. So no loss of power until you hit 8-9000' elevation, which I don't believe is possible on east coast. Last year or two has an 8 or 10 so auto.....
With a WD system, either of these has ability to pull you just fine too. Only issue, might be payload, depending on hitch weight, passenger wts etc. When I had 4 adult sized teens, that trailer, I would at or just above these two trucks abilities chassis wise, power no. A couple, these are options. Family of 6 that weighs in at 1200-2300 lbs, not happening.
