I think you need a diesel dually for sure, lol.
I say that most 150/1500 would be good. You want a 6 speed transmission and a 5.3 or 5.4 L engine. Check the payload on the door and try to get one that is at least 1,600/1,700 pounds and that will be good. I use to tow a 6,000 pound dry, 7,200 loaded trailer with a 150 and all was good.
