It's hard to imagine that someone who can drive a nearly 50ft truck/camper combo around the country cannot navigate with just the truck in Boston. Sure, there are neighborhoods (North End) where streets are very tight and you should avoid that area. If you're comfortable maneuvering your pickup, drive in, follow signs to Government Center and park in the large garage right near Quincy Market. That'll put you in the center of pretty much everything and give you easy access back onto the expressway when leaving the city.
If you're a very timid sort of driver, by all means don't drive in, but it really isn't all that bad.

2. I was told that I may not want to bring our F250 tow vehicle anywhere near Boston for visiting because of narrow streets and limited parking. Should we call an Uber or what?
I'll have to disagree with Paul above a bit on this. It IS a big deal to take a large vehicle into the city. There is limited parking for larger vehicles and negotiating the small streets can be very difficult especially if you are unfamiliar with the area. And we Yanks are not patient with those that are "from away" and add to an already bad traffic situation. Save yourself some stress and take the T or commuter rail into the city. It is indeed a very walkable city plus you do have the option of taxis or Uber if you wish.
