You are correct, with an RV trailer putting such a high percentage of weight on the truck axles you normally run out of payload long before towing capacity. It would be different if you were towing a boat or a flatbed trailer loaded with lumber.
2 series trucks with lots of options and diesel engines have very little payload left over. You will be better of with a 3 series truck. The ride will likely be no different. Depending on option packages the F250 may be nearly identical mechanically to the F350 but with a GVWR not over 10,000 pounds to dodge various DOT regulations.
If your one of those people who thinks the world will end if you go over GVWR then get the F350.
