    As you have probably noticed by now, you haven't been given specific answers to your question. That's because you should buy the right tools for the job.

    Would you use a sledgehammer to saw wood? Would you use a saw to knock down a brick wall? Both those are ridiculous things to consider, right? A sledgehammer is a fine tool, if used for the proper job. Same applies to a saw.

    So the question is, WHAT KIND OF JOB ARE YOU WANTING TO DO?

    What kind of trailer(s) are you going to pull? Will the loads be heavy or light? Will you have to deal with steep hills? Are you going to drive the truck off road (dirt, mud, etc)? Are you going to need PTO and a wet kit? Are you going to haul heavy and need a third drive axle?

    Until you tell us what the job is, we can't tell you what tool to use.

    Like others have said, the job it will do matters. If someone asked you the best car to buy, you would probably ask them 'For what?' We need that answer too.

    Don't listen to these naysayers. Just buy the one with the best shine and lots of chrome.
