I have a crew cab and a family of six. We have no issues fitting everyone in the truck, the back seat has TONS of leg and shoulder room. Most of our trips are local, so we aren't in there for a lot of time. But this summer we are going out west and I have zero concerns about the room in the truck.
As for payload, some F150s seem to have payload in excess of 2,000 pounds from what I have read, but those seem to be like unicorns. GM has a max tow package that will get you around 2,000 pounds of payload in crew cab. I've been there and done that, and with 6 people and a TT in tow, the payload gets used VERY fast as you know.
I now have a 3/4 ton gasser. Gas mileage is around 10 in the city and gets around 14 on the highway (empty). With your commute, you will have to decide how much fuel mileage plays into your decision, gas is cheap now, but likely won't stay there. Good luck.
