Couple of the comments remind me of a thread I read on an offroad/bugout vehicle thread on a different forum. Couple of guys were somewhere like the baja or some far off wilderness with their modded out 4x4s carrying gear, hilift jacks, had winches on the front and back etc. They got out to walk a particularly bad section of trail to plan their angles etc and as their walking back to their rigs they get passed by an old native type driving a rusted out '85 2 wheel drive nissan pickup with bald tires and 7 kids under ten riding in the back.

like garbubba said, stopping is important. Does your trailer have brakes on both axles? if so u can get away with a lighter vehicle. It might not be as fast up a hill but you will be able to stop better. I have a f350 superduty 7.3 and a older f250 460. but I also pull a 28 ft camper and a skidloader. The 250 is a lot shorter and easier to turn but terrible gas mileage. I almost always use the 350 but its a crew cab 4 door with 8 ft bed. I also have one of those jap vehicles! but would not pull the boat with it.
I would say go with any good condition 1/2 ton truck or v8 suv. unless u pull bigger stuff or want better fuel mileage. my 7.3 got 19 mpg before new injectors and chip, haven't checked it since. I don't want to know what the 460 gets! but would guess 8 or 10.
