Strong recommendation that you skip the 250/2500 series and go straight to a 350/3500. You pick the manufacturer. They are all good, especially if you buy new or late model.
You will have many more options for a trailer and especially for a 5th wheel if you go '1 ton.'

We went from a 2500HD to our F350 dual rear wheel. There is some difference in the ride, but certainly tolerable. I have taken the F350 DRW on road trips without the trailer (too many grandkids to fit us, them, and one of their parents in one car so two vehicles were required) and the truck was very comfortable. Being a DRW CC long bed, I have to park a little farther out at Walmart, though. At my age, the exercise is good for me!
