May as well put my opinion in the pot.

I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 ext. cab long bed 360 gas automatic and 3.55 gears. this is the best set up for an all around vehicle if you want to tow occasionaly.I get 13-14 MPG going to work and driving around town in the mix. Never been on the open road without a load.Worst was maybe 7-8 ? loaded which is where a 460 always is. For full time towing I'd go with the diesel. I have pulled a tandem dual 25 ft gooseneck with a 8000 lb.tractor on it and got along ok even being WAY over GVWR. The tandem dual trailer is more than you need for a 3/4 ton truck. Just buy a good tandem single wheel so your tires and rims will interchange and stay away from tri axles all together. Too hard to turn sharp. We bought the dual wheel trailer for use with the 1 ton dually it works better and the wheels will interchange.
