Cheap, but reliable vehicle for towing

[DragonLord3688]

I'm looking for thoughts and opinions on what brand truck would be great for vehicle towing, my father is a repossession agent and uses a twin stroke turbo diesel 03' F-250, with minute man hooks installed in the bed, (Hydraulic Fluid and all) I was thinking of something along the same lines as his performs admirably, but it iis a company vehicle so I need something for maybe about 5 grand cuz the hook installation is probably going to be pricy enough, However I was thinking of a Rollback as well but I wasn't sure the general price of one new or used.

any thoughts and opinions would be greatly welcomed

Thanks
