I concur. A 3/4 ton is suitable for a carrier. The 7500 lb trailer is pushing it's threshold though....lean towards the 9990 pound trailer.
I bought my trailer almost a decade ago. I went with a 12,000 pound one, and have never regretted it. I was also able to register it at a lower weight class to avoid the licensing and inspection aspects of a trailer over 9950 in this province, so best of both worlds. Only mistake I made was only making a 14 foot deck which has made hauling trucks or any car bigger than a sub compact an adventure.
As Bob says, don't skimp on the chains or cargo straps either. If you haven't used chains before, ask a real trucker. Don't learn about securing a load the hard way.
Even a 2 ton princess auto chain come-along will be enough to load a carrier or most vehicles onto the trailer. I always avoid the urge to use a tractor. Too much oomph at the wrong time leads to problems. Ten minutes with the comealong will get almost any load right where you want it, and is good excersize too.
