FED 387 is right, the ST trim level is fine unless you really want the creature comforts. You might consider the 2500 as well unless you may go longer with the trailer some day. Dealers are discounting them 10K or more, but you better hurry, the 2013's are close and they will have the UREA injection. If you can find a good 2004-early 2007 model you can score the 5.9 Cummings which gets better mileage and less potential problems. Only advantage of the 6.7 is they have a integrated exhaust brake. Their higher advertised HP/TQ is not a big factor with a Cummings, if you want more power a few mods can make it do anything up to and including breaking the auto trans.
