I was in the same boat. Wanting a tow worthy truck that wasnt an awful daily driver. I went with the F150 EB max tow could not find an HD. As others said getting that published payload will have you searching and waiting or ordering one built to order. That said we love the EB for towing and for daily driving. If you are not intending on upgraded the camper the EB max tow will suit you just fine. My TT is about 7500lbs so its close to what you are pulling.
I don't consider my F250 a "awful daily driver".. In fact it IS my "daily driver" to the tune of 100 mile round trip every day.
I easily put 20K miles a year on my truck just for getting to and from work.. Ride is firm but not over the top harsh, even my coworker the I ride share with likes it BETTER than his Honda! I can say that I agree with him, I don't care for his Honda which seems to make even small pebbles on the road seem like you just hit a board..
I personally am not a fan of soft riding vehicles, to me they just are wallowing around and feel less stable. Too squishy of a ride makes me get a bit queezy..
