Since it looks like you'll be really close, you may want to find a 3/4 ton truck that has more payload for your heavier travel trailer.
Good luck.
Or he could find a max tow and/or hd payload with 7700 or 8200 GVWR. Would be more comfortable towing a 33ft with a 3/4 though, I agree.
Max tow only comes with Ecoboost or 6.2l. I surely didn't want Ecoboost after coming out of a troubled 2010 5.4l. 6.2 is good option for 2013 and 2014 as it can be had in XLT trim but must be fully loaded.
HD Payload packages are very rare and hard to find, at least in my area.
3/4 ton may be best option.
