Where to start? I need a truck!
I know it's a contentious issue, but I'm feeling overwhelmed with how to select a truck. I know I need at least a 3-series to haul a TC at around 5000lb (AF990 loaded/wet should be around 5000lb) ...

The long and short of it is there is no one place where all this is summed up in one easy-to-digest little web page. One big problem with such a page is that it's a big job to compile all that, nobody is willing to do it for free, and nobody wants to pay to have it done.
If you want to do this without losing your mind, go shopping. Find one or two trucks that you think might do the job for you. Research THAT truck. Don't get mired down in trying to remember each and every problem with each and every model year of each and every brand. Just research THAT truck.
Don't fall for the impulse buy, especially at first. If the truck is such a good deal that it won't be there by the time you've researched it, let it go. You would probably regret buying it anyway. But, DO research it anyway, just to help build your knowledge.
In time you will start to learn the goods and bads about particular generations of the different brands of trucks.
Once you've built up all this knowledge, feel free to try creating a web page for the next guy. Then you'll see what I was talking about earlier.
