In That vintage, I'd get an HD truck. You'll want a lot more power since power and transmission gearing was more limited compared to 2009+ trucks.
x2; One thing that will make a huge difference is the 6 speed trans.
Others can confirm but I believe Ram when to the 6 speed in 2009. Much better gearing for towing.
This applies whether you go 1500 or 2500. My recommendation would be the 2500 because it will give you more options if you want to go bigger in the future. A properly equipped 1500 would be fine though.
