Tow vehicle and everyday driveability question

I have a 2012 WhiteHawk Jayco 28’ that is about 5800 dry and I guess may max is around 7000 fully loaded. I currently tow with a 2011 F150 5.0 with HD towing package and drive around 20k miles a year...

Well if you're gonna buy a new truck anyways, get the 250 and be done with it. They don't ride like stagecoaches anymore....they are as quiet and comfortable as their 150 counterparts. You don't need a diesel for that load either....look at the V-10 or whatever gas motor Ford is offering these days.
