I think you have the extremes on both ends. f350 was overkill. 3/4 ton diesel I think is a nice middle ground that has good payload, comfortable ride and the diesel for torque and durability.

The EcoBoost has more HP, TQ, and a Much better transmission than my old V10 1999 F350. People pull 13k fivers with the low power numbers that my old V10 had.
Power and reliability with the EcoBoost is NOT a problem.
The OP will be close on his payload- GVWR- etc.... But can make it work as evidenced by the thousands doing it with similar trucks. I pulled a 31ft TT with an old 97 F150 and it did just fine too.
Thanks
