Welcome to "Family Montana."

I have been through the tow vehicle question numerous times over the past year. I even purchased a couple of older TV's to see how each brand performed. After an expensive and exhausting search I found the TV which was right for me. This time it just happened to be a brand I don't care for but has the drive train I prefered.

One thing you can do if your worried about tow weight is go to a sale lot(cattle or horse) and shoot the breeze with a couple of farmers about their tow vehicles. They will offer you a wealth of information.

I have the advantage of working at a feed store part of the time so I could poll people bringing their horses to the race track from other states. I found each vehicle has its own little quarks. If you buy a ford keep an extra cam sensor in the glove box. If you buy a dodge be prepared to have the fuel system serviced as routine maintance. After too many tranny problems I had ruled out the Chevy long ago. After several months of my poll I made my decision and haven't looked back.

Take your time.
Drive everything you can.
Pick what makes you comfortable when you get behind the wheel.

Hope this helps.
Phil
