You are exactly right about needing only a decent 1/2 ton truck.
If you don't already know the payload (cargo) label is on the drivers door jamb. That trailers tongue weight will come in at close to 1k when ready to roll so keep that in mind. With two boys and accoutrements I would not look at anything not having at least 1600k of payload.
The more optioned a truck is the less the payload will be. If you don't need leather, navigation, sun roof, etc. your search should be easier.
Make sure any truck you buy has "LT" tires on it,or be prepared to purchase some.
Good luck with the search.
