There is a big difference in purchase price between a 1/2 ton eco-boost and a 3/4 ton diesel pickup. For what he is looking at a 3/4 ton diesel would be overkill. I'm not knocking them I'm just saying that if you use your truck like a car when not towing and you want to pull a smaller trailer the 3/4 ton diesel is over kill.
To the OP. You need to talk to a reputable pickup dealer that is use to selling tow vehicles, tell him what you want to do, and hope he points you in the right direction. Ask around and see which dealer in your area has a good reputation and which ones are bad.
Well, that is not really true. A reasonably loaded Eco is going to set the OP back between 35 and 40K new. A decent 3/4 ton gas motor pickup is going to be nearly the same price. A really nice used Diesel pickup it is probably going to be less.
