Ron,
With a 24' (minimum) enclosed trailer, you'll want some real torque from your tow vehicle, hence the diesel engines hands down winner in this department.
A longer wheel base like you get in a F250 or F350 ext.cab pickup is also some advantage in handling at highway speeds.
If you can't do a pickup, get the biggest behemoth SUV with the diesel option.
The subject was discussed a few weeks ago..... should still be on here somewhere.
Good luck wtih your choice.
BTW... my brother-in-law has a CPA firm out on Long Island that travels a lot... even into the city. He uses a Chevy 2500 crew cab pick up. The 6' bed has a fiber glass toneau that can be locked, protecting his audio/visual equipment he usually carries on presentations. Don't rule this type truck out.
