Whats good?

What would you guys recommend for a rig to go haul in tractors? I got access to a 1700 International, but it's too big. Looking for a One ton pickup that wont raise any suspicions when I bypass ports of entry. Also need 4x4 and plow. I've looked at Fords, Dodges, and Chevys. It would be nice to buy a cummins Dodge, but seems they are a Minimum of 10K here for 200k mile trucks, while 7K will buy a 88 F-350 Diesel with 99,ooo miles. Are the Dodges that much better? (Will be pulling a 2 or 3 axle trailer, with brakes of course..)

How about it guys? What should I get for $3000 to $8000.00???
