Personally I like the Freightliner 12064ST but the Peterbilt 379 or the Kenworth W900 are probably better if you can afford one of them. All kidding aside if you are going to pull a gooseneck trailer a 3/4 ton should be the minimum and a one ton would be even better although one with duals is not really necessary. The brakes and suspension are the biggest reasons for not going with a 1/2 ton pickup. Most 1/2 ton pickups are overloaded if you pull a trailer capable of hauling a tractor and an overloaded pickup is an unsafe vehicle under any circumstances. 4-wheel drive is definetly a good idea if you are pull a trailer because of the extra traction if you need it and also gives you some extra low gears. A good trailer brake controller is also a must. Also don't buy something unpowered because you will be disappoint with it later on. While my personal preference is for something with a twin screw and air brakes I know this does not fit everyone. Just make sure you get something heavy enough to do the job safely because my wife and kids will be using the same roads you are.
