I'll probably ditch the car at some point and stick with the truck. I have a 02 Camaro SS I could drive, but don't want to put the miles on it.

............... If all you do in the cabin is sleep you have bigger issues to worry about than a truck.

All you do is sleep on the boat........Maybe a Rinker, or Searay.......could really get a good night sleep then.

You are talking about 2 different sized boats. The 42 Fountain is going to be smaller and lighter than the 43 Donzi. Keep that in mind. As such, a well equipped 3/4 ton can probably handle the Fountain.
However, if you are jumping up to the 43 Donzi, I think you are going to want the bigger truck and the extra tires in the rear to help you control the load.
You can get any of the Ram, GM, or Ford 1 tons in SRW now. On the Ford, the only thing different between them in 2017 SRW models is an extra leaf spring per my visual inspections at lots. I am not sure about the GMs. But with the Rams, their 2500 is a 4-corner coil spring suspension, and the 3500 is leafs in the back; BIG difference in capability, regardless of what capacities day.
The thing that is going to be most important is length. You want the crew cab/long bed setup. That's what is going to keep leverage over the load.
However, with the 43 Donzi, I think you will be much better off with DRW, regardless of what the capacities state.
