We (my wife and I) will be upgrading our rig next year (when I retire) from a 24' TT to a 29' or 30' TT. Will also be trading in my 2016 GMC Canyon (3.6 ltr. v-6) for a diesel full size truck. My...

Ford should just eliminate the F250 completely or build a diesel powered truck with 3k payload and GVWR of 10k.
So, you can be the first to design this 7000 lbs HD vehicle with a diesel engine, leaving 3000 lbs of payload. Go ahead... build it, you may have a decent market for it.
Then again, if I need both a diesel AND 3000+ lbs of payload, I would just buy a 1 ton truck. Thankfully, most of the roads I drive upon are not class limited, my neighborhood doesn't have that weight restriction and I can afford to pay a higher registration cost in Maryland. Others (I know its hard to believe there are other people in the world) may not be as lucky.
Enjoy your truck, drive it safe and keep to your axle ratings and you will enjoy it for a LONG time. Please quit trolling for the sake of trolling though.
Sorry for the trolling I couldn't help myself and I apologize to the OP for the nonsense. 7000lbs and a 10k GVWR is what a 3/4 ton should be, not just the gas version. I honestly thought the F250 diesel was around 7200lbs not 8200. The Nissan suffers from the heavy diesel just as the F250, its gas versions are rated 500-700 lbs higher in payload. My 06 Silverado was registered at 10k GVWR but the Nissan is registered at 7k and costs about $30 less a year in MD.
I only have about 150 miles towing my trailer so far and the experience has been good.
