I think with the gasser, either would do the job, especially with the 4.30 gearing, that may require ordering. I do think in the new model 250/350, that there are a couple significant differences. I'm thinking the 250 gas has a lighter duty transmission now, compared to the 350 gas, or diesel versions. It also seems that the 350 gas has a heavier duty rear axle too, not just rating.
The 6.2 has been a good engine since it's beginning.

4.30 will probably require special order.
I bought a 2017 gasser f250 super duty last October. Love love the 6.2 engine. I now wish I would have ordered the 4.3 rear end because when you are towing gas mileage doesn't really matter. It tows our 7300lb TT with zero problems.
Unloaded it rides as well as a f150 in my opinion.
If I was towing that size horse trailer I would prefer a diesel Ford. From experience I would want more truck than I needed.
