so a 25 ft trailer, would that be a 5th or travel ??
And would a 3/4 ton Ford diesel be best to tow or gas or ???
A 3/4 ton diesel would tow very nicely but is probably overkill for either.
A basic gas V8 1/2 ton will likely be enough. Check the ratings as they can vary quite a bit but the more capable 1/2 ton trucks could handle a 25' from either.
If you get up around 28-30', you probably want to consider a 3/4ton if you go 5th wheel. The key consideration is typically the pin weight for a 5th wheel. A gas engine is still very reasonable in this size range. This will typically have much more living space compared to a 29' MH where the cockpit eats up 4-5' of living space.
