When you go truck shopping, keep in mind, an F - whatever or a 1500 / 2500 whatever, are not all created equal. Every truck has it's own (as equipped) payload and max tow rating.
You see and hear advertising that says model XXX can tow up to 10,000 lbs. The key words being "up to". An F150, for example, has versions with 750 lbs payload, and versions all the way up to 3200 lbs. You'll need to check payload and tow capacity on every truck, especially when shopping 1/2 tons. There are also differences in 3/4 ton trucks, but, you find fewer (if any) that won't meet your needs. You need to find a tow vehicle that has the seating and carrying capacity, to carry the total weight of your family, a 100 lb WD hitch, the loaded tongue weight of the trailer, any aftermarket accessories (bed covers, bed liners, tie down systems, undercoating, etc) you might add, and any cargo you might put in or on the truck.
Give yourself some wiggle room.
