Buy more truck than you think you need as far as payload and towing. It's easier to grow into it than trying to increase the capacity later on(and cheaper). A 5000# dry TT will become 6500# pretty easily. And 8000+#'s when you upgrade in a few years. Will you want to carry some stuff in the bed of the truck and not worry about overloading the rear axle? At least consider a 2500 to give you some wiggle room.
