Just a late opinion.
I agree that with that GVWR - 1 ton would be minimal. If you're looking for a DD as well, consider an oil burner and at least 4.1- gears.
I have the 350 CC LWB Lariat - 6.0. I've been as much as 24k and the truck was as advertised. 9-13 mpg towing (pending conditions) and 15-19 emty (again, pending conditions)
Be prepared for proper maint. These oil burners are a little more expensive to maintain than their gas counterpart.
