Don't buy anything brand new. One year old with 15k miles is where it's at.

You can do all that with a half ton truck. That said, I love 3/4 tons because they are much better built usually.

If you're not overly concerned about gas mileage, I suggest a 3/4 ton chevy with a 6.0 gas burner.

ETA: The ford 3/4 tons are nicer on the inside if that's your thing and ride better than chevys usually. Either one will be PLENTY enough truck. I don't suggest getting a diesel unless you just want one. Todays gas burners are plenty tough and strong enough for everything short of running hot-shot

I personally love the chevy or gmc 2500 hd's but she doesnt love the price. Mileage isnt really a concern. She will take it 1/4 mile to work everyday. I think we put 4k miles on her car all of last year.
