Just got a camper.. Need more truck. HELP

Let's put first things first...what you have now...
If you feel the trailer surging you do not have the brake controller set aggressively enough...the trailer should not push you at all since it has its own brakes.
Second...ensure your weight distribution hitch is set properly. (You are using a weight distribution hitch right?)
As for Excursions...stay away from the 5.4 V8 and the 6.0 PSD...look for a V10 or a 7.3 PSD... Just know that both are going to feel like slugs compared to your Ecoboost.
Another option is a Suburban 2500...you can find them with the 8.1 liter big block or the 6.0 Gas V8...later model Suburbans 2500 have a five speed transmission that does very well.
Congrats on the trailer and good luck on the tow vehicle!
Thanks!
