Even registered for 30,000, you are going to be overweight towing a 17,500lb dozer. Trailer's gonna weigh 6500lbs so that puts you at 24,000 just for the dozer and trailer, plus another 8000 for the truck... You're at 32K.
The only thing you might be saving on by downsizing from the FL60 to a pickup is registration and insurance. However it will take a long time to recoup that cost through just those savings alone.
On the other hand the pickup is more useful the rest of the time, as I assume the FL60 probably just has a gooseneck plate and fenders on the back...
It's a tough call. All I know is to stay away from the 6.0 and 6.4 Ford diesels, and the best combination for the Chevy is the 2006-early 2007 Duramax and 6-speed Allision.
Other than that buy the truck that you like the best and is the best value for the money. Unfortunately when it comes to used diesel pickup trucks, there's rarely good value for the money. They tend to be overpriced, or junk, or overpriced junk.
