I agree with mrmustang. Safety must always be first. A vehicle may be able to pull, but stopping & controlling on the road are different issues. For example, A Tractor Trailer can really push a vehicle around when passing it at speed on the open highway & a windy day can really make it even worse. A tow vehicle should have the towing ability along with braking & controlling ability. It's not only for your safety but for the safety of everyone else on the road. You would feel horrible if someone got hurt & even worse if children were involved. I recommend a 3/4 ton pick-up as it has heavier running gear & larger brakes.
Just my .02
