Newb?: Ford F-250
Is a Ford F-250 a good truck to tow a 5th wheel? What length of trailer would be ideal?

Had an 05 F250 PSD (POS) supercab and towed a 10k lb (loaded), 29 foot fiver for almost 12 years without issue. It had a 2736 lb payload capacity and the trailer took me to within 50 lbs of it, however I was under by 650lbs on my RAWR.
Ford had rated the truck to have a ~16k lb 5th wheel towing capacity which is an impossible feat. The best I could have done was ~13k lbs to remain under my RAWR.
I made the mistake and believed Ford's tow rating so I opted for the F250. While it really never mattered, I would have gone with the F350 knowing what I know now.
