At 30' and 7800lbs, I think you're pushing the limits of a half ton. I would probably go with a 3/4 ton. Not that the ecoboost won't tow it easily, the power is great, but the softer suspension comes with a price. That's a big sail behind you and under less than ideal circumstances (winds), the tail tends to wag the dog. A 3/4 ton gets pushed around less. You'd also double your payload if you stick to gas. My $.02.

x2 on this

i own a 33 ft tt averaging about 7000 to 7500lbs loaded depending on whats in holding tanks.

i own a 2000 f150 5.4 liter and originally towed the tt with it for about 3 months. towed ok but was never 100 happy with it.

in september i bought a 2017 f250 6.2 gasser. world of difference. the 250 pulls it like a utility trailer. like someone else commented a 3/4 ton is for pulling, the 1/2 if for lighter pulling and daily driving.

I won't bash any 3/4 ton, heck I own one. I just have to say though there's a big difference from your old 2000 F150 with the dog 5.4 4 spd compared to todays F150 with either and or Max Tow or the HDPP 3.5 and 10 sp tranny. In the super crew 6.5" bed it would be more thn capable of towing your TT.
It's not equal to your F250 though.
