Any of the Big Three will do you well. What I would be looking for is a long bed, with a puck system plus 5er AND camper suspension if both are offered on your chosen brand. Locking differential, numerically higher then standard differential ratio. Depending on how you tow, perhaps a dually. Then lastly, do your homework on that drive train. At this point, and trying not to start a 'brand war' or put down your favorite, feel that GM has some catch up work to do over Ford and Ram current offerings.
