Is your F250’s payload up to 2,000 pounds of 5er pin weight plus hitch, people and stuff in the cab? Or 1,100 pounds of TT tongue weight, the hitch and people and stuff in the truck? Champagne on a beer budget?

A 250 gas model will be more than capable of taking the pin or hitch weight of either trailer. I almost purchased a completely loaded 2018 250 6.2 Lariat supercrew 4x4. It had a payload rating of 3100 some pounds just as much as a diesel 350. The only Issue I would see here is the 3.73 gears with the heavier 5th wheel. Can it do it heck yeah it can and is rated to. That weight is on the high end of tow capacity with the 3.73s somewhere in the 12500lb ballpark if he would have the 4.30 it would be 15000lbs.
