Need advice for all-around truck that can tow

I have a 2007 Ram 1500 with the Hemi. I call it the "Urban Cowboy Edition" with 20 inch wheels & chrome on chrome. I ordered it new to replace my then 2005 4.7 Ram 1500 that I had put cams in, changed the gear ratio, headers & exhaust etc., but it still could not tow my 9000 lbs of enclosed trailer well enough into a head-wind. So thats when I got the 2007 Hemi.

I looked at a used Cummins then too but ordered up the new Hemi & got the lifetime powertrain warranty (which is still warrantied) knowing I would have this truck forever.

Anyhow I tow a racecar & this enclosed trailer all over. I have a load leveler hitch, with sway bars (done right) and I cant say that I have any complaints past too many downshifts. I like to tow along at 2100RPM but lets face it, the Hemi powerband is much higher. So it downshifts too much for me when it needs its powerband. But I do get 11MPG loaded, and when I am not towing its a real nice run around truck that gets nearly 20mpg (multiple displacement system).

Anyhow, my point is that I recently towed with several new 2016 1/2 tons. Big enclosed trailers too (two car). And I want you to know that the last ten years has been beneficial for 1/2 tons from the big three. These late model trucks tow fantastically. Power is about what you would expect (passing takes planning) but the new transmissions, brake set ups, stability and cabin noise are so much more refined. You can tow off the bumper as well as my 2007 Ram tows with my elaborate hitch set up. The new 1/2 tons are what a 3/4 or 1 ton felt like 10 years ago. Not kidding.

Lastly I towed 5 hours and 25k lbs (five car! rig) with a F450 last month. Lord, it was simple and competent the whole way. Of course that was a $75k truck.
