i have a 2017 ford f250 2wd 6.2 gasser 3:73 rear end. our current TT when bought last fall is a 2019 keystone laredo 330rl. similar floor plan, length, "dry" weight (we are approx 10k lbs loaded to camp).
i have had zero problems with this setup. thousands of miles. up and down the east coast. we live in north carolina. DW and i just got back from 8 day trip in the tennessee and nc mountains. interstate driving and winding small steep mountain roads.
plenty of truck for the rig. anything over 10k loaded to camp i would go diesel.
downside. 8 to 9 mph towing but gas is way cheaper than diesel in my part of the country.
fuel stops. 38ft TT is loooong. i usually plan ahead for larger truck stops etc.
our hitch is a ezlift old style with spring bars and 1 sway bar that came with our previous TT. this TT is very stable towing.
on a side note. be aware that keystone still uses slide motors that can leak oil on top of the slide roof when retracted. causes membrane to bubble up. i found out this last week when i did a roof inspection. 2 0f my 3 have done this. took 9 months to start leaking. their fix is a drip pan underneath motor. common problem that i knew nothing about until i google searched.
other than that we have loved it. great floor plan similar to yours. our first TT was a 33ft, one slide
