Agree with getting a decent gasser 3/4 ton. Find a 2002-2018 or so Silverado/Sierra 2500 HD with an LQ4 or (later) L96 6.0 engine. This engine has a great reputation for reliability and low maintenance. Maybe a fleet trade in WT. If it's too old for a rear camera, install an aftermarket one in the tailgate handle with a new touchscreen stereo so you can back up to the trailer ball using a camera. These trucks will have very stout transmissions with factory auxilliary cooling, the told 4L80 or the newer 6L90.

Also, get some big mirrors if it isn't equipped with them. They are a HUGE help. I think mine are from Rocky Ridge or something like, $200+, work great and click right into the power mirror controls.
