I'm not an expert nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but I have been researching the heck out of this subject trying to get us in a 5er with our 3/4 ton diesel Ford. (http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/29114791.cfm) All I can say is, if you are going to buy a truck to tow with, get the 1 ton. If I had a 350 instead of a 250 all my issues would be of no concern.
They may already be of no concern. Some F250s are identical to the F350. Those that aren't only lack an overload spring, which can be added or supplanted with bags/timbrens. I'd also verify that tire ratings aren't an issue. Do some research and I think you'll be surprised how underrated your truck is on paper.
