Here's an example of what I think is the "most for the least" tow rig.
Ram 2500 Tradesman, 6.4L Hemi. A dressed up work truck ready to tow. This example is a new leftover 2017, Bay City, Michigan. Check out the window sticker:
2017 Ram 2500
Listed at $ 39K, I imagine one could do better on price.
Ram 2500 Tradesman 4WD Thelen
Next best would be an F-250 XL 6.2L, with the STX and chrome packages, a touch more in price, but both very well suited to your job, and often below the 1/2 ton price.
Edit: well by "next best" I meant list price, If all things were equal I'd lean toward the Ford, with the 2017 redesign, that's tough coming from a lifelong Mopar gearhead...
