The best thing to do is figure out what "payload" capacity you need. Make sure you allow for how much stuff you will have in the trailer and how much stuff you will have in the truck. Then buy a truck that has the payload rating (see the yellow sticker on the door in the truck) that you need (and all the other ratings also).
The calculators here can help out with that.
clickyI agree with you, a 3/4 ton does not make a very good daily driver, First Hand Knowledge. Just because you need a hammer doesn't necessarily mean you should be using a 20 lbs. hammer.
