High mileage tow rig

Hey everyone!

New to stock racing and car is almost done. Plan on being on the track for the 26 season most likely. Going to be in the market for a used 1 ton diesel to tow my race setup. Not looking to cut corners but a new diesel isn?t in the budget. Currently have a 2023 Silverado 1500 with a 5.3 that struggles to pull my buddies 24? enclosed hauler with my stocker mustang. What would you guys consider to be a reliable high mileage diesel? It won?t be a daily just a tow pig for racing and transporting the car. More then likely going to get a 4th gen ram 6.7 3500 drw. Plan on purchasing a 28? enclosed trailer toward the end of the year as well hence the 1 ton dually. Let me know your experiences towing set ups and if I could possibly make due with what I have now.

Thanks!
Chris
