Since you have not yet bought - consider a 3500 SRW. A little more purchase cost and a little more reg fees (at least in NJ). But a lot more capacity/comfort over the 2500. You can load up with firewood, benny, tools etc without much concern. Our previous 2002 F350 had a GVWR of only 9900#. Even with our 9985 GMVW 5th we were real close to the GVMR on the truck. The 2013 moved up to 11,500# GVWR and we could go to a larger trailer and still be legal.
Also have friends who tow a larger Montana (39' and ~13000#) with a 2500 Sierra. While they say it has the power it squats down good and he says its "squarely" at times.
