Looking for a “new” TV.
I’m trying to get some feedback for an older used Diesel 1 ton. Obviously tow ratings have changed more with newer models to accommodate new rigs so while a new 1 ton I know would work I’m curious if anyone out there has an older model that tows a new 40’ trailer.

Looking between 2008-2013 but am open to suggestions about what to look into if it’s capable (Ford, Chevy, GMC, Ram). I know there were some problem years in this range for all of them so feedback on what to avoid would be appreciated as well.

Must haves:
4x4
Crew or Mega Cab
Diesel

Prefer SRW and 6.5’ bed but definitely willing to DRW and 8’.

Also looking at Anderson Hitch.
