I'd go with an F-350 instead of an F-250. Why? You get more GVWR with little or no increase in price. So think 1 ton truck.
Well....yes and no. A couple of points.
Some F350 SRW trucks have a 10000 GVWR just like a 10000 GVWR F250. We had one poster who came up with a 10k GVWR F350 SRW crew cab 4x4 6.7 diesel long wheelbase. The weight police convinced him he had to trade it in for the same truck with the 11200 GVWR sticker :R.
And if the F250 comes with the heavy service package its the same as the F350 SRW truck.
The newer gen 3/4 ton diesel trucks have up to 6500 RAWR and over 3000 lb rear axle payloads.
Gassers even more.
