I think all the American made are good- Buy as already stated you need to know the spec. on the 5er you are looking to pull. A typical 3/4 gas will have a payload greater than a comparable 3/4 ton diesel. When it comes to pulling a 5er it's payload- you have to look on the driver's door or door post for max loading. I would not even look at a 1/2 ton/ I have a 2016 Chev. 3/4 ton gas payload 2733 lbs. I looked at a 3/4 ton GMC diesel and the door sticker 2150 lbs. I have a 31' light weight 5er and my total pin weight is 2400 lbs. If going with a diesel go with a 1 ton.
