Thanks for your replies and advice.
I'm looking at a 2012 F350 4WD 6.7 diesel. It has the towing power for the size 5ers I'm looking at. But, being ignorant about most of this, I'm seeing where this Ford is so high off the ground, and the side walls so high, that the RVs pull nose up even after the hitch and king pin are adjusted or, even worse, people are denting the side walls in certain situations. People are addressing this by flipping the axels, elevating the RV, lowering the truck (some of these mods seem OK, some not so OK), and other ways. I'm also seeing that the king pin heights vary by RV. This has been pretty difficult to sort out. Apparently, the 2WDs sit lower and fit most RVs better.
I'm definately a novice here. We have a 2008 F250 diesel at work and pull a trailer with it, but it is a bumper pull and the trailer is less than 10,000 pounds. So that experience doesn't help me much.
