From your description of how much weight you have to haul, i think you'd be much better off if you get the hauler to drag that big tractor down to N.C. for you. Then buy a nice newer pickup that won't take you broke buying fuel for it when you get settled in your new home!
I've dragged travel trailers all around the eastern U.S. for years, with a 3/4 ton pickup, and some of the mountain roads were scary! Although, the electric brakes on the trailers worked very well, if you kept them adjusted!
Then i moved up to a motor home, class C, and believe me, ya'd better have yer brakes up to snuff, or yer in for a bad time, going down the mountains. It had a Dodge 440 engine, and pulled the hills alright! And, i could down-shift the 727 tranny going down hill!
Any way, i don't think a 3/4 ton pickup could control all that weight on a down-hill pull!
