Is the 6.2L Gas engine enough for a 34TBOK-6 or should I go with diesel? Will the F250 be able to handle the pin weight of the 34TBOK-6 which is approx 2000 pounds? Torn what to do I would like a F350 with the 6.7 but the prices are pretty high, found a decent priced Silverado 2500HD with the Duramax but have not seen pictures yet. Found a nice F250 with the 6.2L Gas but am not sure it is enough truck. I love my F150 Ecoboost but since I bought this trailer I know I need to upgrade to something bigger.

Your fifth weighs almost 14,000 gross, a pin weight will be 2800 pounds plus about 200 for the hitch or nearly 3000 pounds. There are not a lot of 250/2500 trucks that can handle that weight and all the people, stuff, dogs, bicycles, firewood, kayaks, tools, bbq, etc, that the truck will also be carrying.
