You have driven your current truck 7125 miles per year over the last 16 years. DO NOT BUY A DIESEL TRUCK! GM makes the Gasoline engine all the car shows are installing in their hotrods, the LS. Buy one in your 3/4 ton truck around 400 hp, as many speeds as possible in the automatic trans, 4-door short box. If it was me, I'd get 4wd. Towing two tractors on a gooseneck you get on wet grass or dry loose sand you could have traction problems.
I've driven Ford pickups for 38 years. Last 23 years a '96 F-250 with the Navistar built 7.3L PSD engine. Put well over half a MILLION miles on those three trucks, over 300,000 on the diesel alone. And I pick up my new RAM 1500 HEMI 4wd on Friday.
If it was 1960 to 1966 it would make sense to buy a GMC over a Chevy, the big block V-6 was a great engine. I almost bought a brand new 1978 GMC half ton swb 4wd 292-4 speed but a year or so later I found a '78 F-150 set up exactly that way for half the money that had the 300-6 which ran circles around 292's. I peddaled packages for UPS in 1978. I drove Ford, IH, Chevy, and GMC package cars every day.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
