A 33' 9195 dry weight 5th wheel ?? Some one posted the other day with a 9xxx lb dry weight 5th wheel trailer but it had a 4600 lb CCC = 13k-14k gvwr trailer. Point being depending on actual weight pulled you may want the 3.55 gears. Your call there.
Cab configuration and 148" vs 160" ??
Choose the cab you like as there is little to no difference in ride/comfort in those length wheel base trucks. Ford used three different RAWR suspension and 4wd vs 2wd suspensions which can affect a trucks ride. You will be fine with the 148" wheel base.
The shorter wheelbase truck can cause the tail of the trailer to react a bit quicker...but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.
10000 GVWR vs 11400 GVWR ??
These can be the same exact truck....however the forums weight cops will be all over you as the 10k GVWR truck has a lower payload number on the tire sticker.
Both trucks are the same mechanically....just a different GVWR number on the door sticker. If you don't need the 10000 gvwr for a cheaper registration costs or a cheaper insurance rate/etc go with the 11400 gvwr truck.
