Leaning towards an F350 4x4 Crew Diesel but flexible.
I'm not a Ford fan but the F350 drw will handle that size 5th wheel rv trailer with ease.

Thank you

Either works fine. Most new gen 5th wheel trailers have the rounded/notched front corners made for 6 1/2' beds. I have owned long and short bed trucks but I prefer short bed crew cab trucks for pulling my rv trailers and even my longer GN equipment/stock trailers. Short bed trucks today have well over 140" wb vs 118"-120" wb in earlier short bed models.
You'll get differing opinions on the short bed vs long bed subject...some quite amusing. Just choose the one that works for your situation.
