Wingnut already covered it. Be aware that you are looking at far more wear and tear than the truck was built for and plan your stops with plenty of distance.

FWIW if you go to the Trailer Life web site you should be able to find a towing guide. That will cover the various makes and models of vehicles from domestic manufacturers. Buying that will help you plan what truck to get or trailer to look for based on your towing capacity. The magazine sends out an annual one for the current model year which is handy unless you are buying the new vehicle early in the model year. I think the guide comes out in either the Jan or Feb issue.
