If you're maxing at 5000, then the QC Dak will probably be better than
a similarly-equipped Durango of the same vintage due to the longer
wheelbase. Just make sure you have a tranny cooler and 3.92s.
An '03 (Dak or Durango) will get you disc brakes out back, '02 was
still drums IIRC.
The Durango *can* be optioned for considerably higher towing
capacities than the Dak overall - slim pickings if you're in the used
market though. 360, 3.92s and the HD group and you're in the 7200
pound range there.
