need advise for full size truck choice

[displacedtexan]

For a daily driver in the city, a diesel is not a good choice. The engine will rarely get up to temp and you'll have more than normal issues with the emission stuff.

That's a common refrain...

I've dailied a diesel in a city for 19 years... No issues with getting up to temp.

I go with this ^^^ option.

A deck trailer behind a small SUV does it all.... I've been doing it for 12 years.

Start here.... $1100.00, 700# empty, 3500# gross

Work.... 3500# of brick here.... a bit over the TJR capacity but legal for the trailer capacity.

My deck trailer weighs 700# has a 3500# gross.

Gross trailer weight includes weight of the trailer...

Gross trailer weight includes weight of the trailer...

yes

 

[displacedtexan]

yes

So your 3500# of brick was not within trailer capacity.
