Ford F250 6.2L V8
I recently purchased a new F250 with the 6.2L gas motor to pull our Keystone 2920BH. The truck doesn't even know it there. I am thinking about 5th wheels now. I am looking at the Forest River Rockwoo...

You will be slower than some in the hills, diesels don't lose power with altitude like gas engines do, but you will be OK.
All motors that burn oxygen will loose power at altitude, there's just no way around it. The turbos in the new diesels makes as difference over non turbo ones but they still loose power, they also have crazy touque numbers so you don't fell it as much.
I pull a 16K 5th wheel with a 6.2 DRW with 4.30 gears, going over 10k passes it can get a little slow but it still does a good job, we've been all over the country with it. Your limiting factor is being a F250 and 3.73 gears but with that size trailer it will do fine.
