I bought the smallest truck you can get with a diesel engine (Dodge/Cummins 2500).

Without a doubt diesel is the way to go when towing regularly. There is a guy on this forum getting 30+mpg out of a rear wheel drive only Dodge 2500.

From what I know about the big 3.

Buy a Dodge for the engine (Cummins)
Buy a Ford for the interior
Buy a Chevy for the transmission (Allison)
