Are we talking new? Barely used? Older? To be honest, I am a Bowtie guy through and through, but all the new trucks are great. Obviously a 2500 makes the best tow rig, but A 1500 would do what you want to do. I use a 2500 Duramax to pull my closed trailers, but I pull a open trailer with Lisa's Avalanche often (like next week for Year One I will have all of them going), pulls fine, and she loves the "car like" trucky feel. If the wife is going to drive it, and if the bed size is not a big issue (re, needeing a large bed), I would look seriously at a Avalanche. The shorter bed makes it mall freindly, and she can park it straight in instead of backing in like you have to with a short bed crew cab.
