All thoughts are appreciated.
What kind of fuel economy does your F250 get? If you trade it for an Ecoboost, you'll be taking a big hit on depreciation and taxes. It is pretty hard to make up for thousands in loss with a few bucks in fuel savings. Same thing with keeping an extra vehicle to get better mileage. By the time you pay for the vehicle, taxes, tags, insurance, etc. it usually won't come out.
Do you have to drive so many miles? Seems to me like you are overextended and it is time to cut back somewhere, even if it means staying home once in awhile. Maybe next time you buy vehicles or trailers, you could buy something more economical. There are certainly trailers out there that are comfortable for a family of 4-6 that weigh much less than 9,200 lbs. If you got one in the 6-7K range, it would be very easily pulled by an Ecoboost.
