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.
