you can spend the whole 5000 on a good trailer, though if that's your limit try and find a 2500 series truck with a v8 or diesel and keep it under $2500 so you can go out and get a newer trailer (cheep trailers are never a good idea)

mid 90s 1500 or 2500, buy a chevy, run great, easy to find parts. I think you should not buy a Dodge, or late 90's ford, those things gave ford a bad name, they are like 90% plastic.

91-93 Dodge Cummins diesel with a NV4500 transmission. Bullet proof engine and transmission, the trucks can be found for a good price, pretty good fuel mileage, parts are cheap, and you can pull a house off of its foundation with it. But you can only expect to get about a million miles out of the engine though. The only con I can think of is that they're kind of ugly.
