How is f250 overkill... my trailer is 23' my last trip out when I hit scales tt had tongue weight of 1040 .. TT weighed 6620 its gvwr is 7500.. my truck plus tongue weight was 9620 only 280 pounds away from my f350 gvwr... and it was only a 3 day trip ... how would a half ton handle 2220 pounds of payload? Or more if I was headed out for a week?
Your trailer is an 04. They have come along way since then. I have a 2011 Eclipse Milan at 29 total feet 4,500 pounds dry.
Well within 1/2 ton territory-at 29 total feet.
My TrailCruiser 30 foot is a 2004 and it has a dry weight of 4300lbs.
As already stated: Length does not matter much, total weight and tongue weight are the numbers that matter to the Tow Vehicle :)
