So , if the truck is rated to tow the weight - what is the issue with the emergency stop?
Can understand if the vehicle was not rated for the load.
Look at a a 2019 2500 or 3500 diesel GMC - rated at only 14.5K trailer. The capacity is based on the stoping power, axle, trans, engine and weight of the truck. The rating is verified in testing, it's not an arbitrary number.

If we open the options up a bit, there is nothing wrong with a Ford f350 with the v10 gas engine. They can be had cheap because everyone wants a diesel. I just bought a 2011 service truck from work with 250k on it for $1500. Strong engine and runs well. Obviously it gets 9mpg but if you dont daily drive it who cares.
Just another option to consider rather than parting ways with your $50k z71 to get a $70k duramax.

you mean diesels? Not big block... ? I ask this only because my 6.o gas in my 2500 hd has more hp and tq than any 90s big block in a truck and thats a fact.

I was just trying to open up a budget friendly possibility for the man. Cheap tow rig while being able to also have his nice new daily driver.
