Are you looking for a new or used truck? Will it be your tow vehicle (TV) only/exclusively, or also as a DD (daily driver)?
I am partial to the 7.3L diesels, especially the Excursion for its family travel seating. Problem is the age. If you want all the bells and whistles and fancy stuff, they don't have them.
Pricing is MUCH better than new, but if you aren't doing your own maintenance or know someone to rely on...remember, it's a 2000-2003 vehicle.
If going new, many of the newer trucks ride like older luxury cars or modern SUVs.
F250/2500 have a bit of a stiffer ride, but not as much as F350/3500 or dual rear wheels. They are nice, but designed with heavier suspensions.
All depends what suits YOUR needs ;)
A bigger challenge, I believe, will be finding a long trailer in that low weight range.
Continue to ask, lots of good advice and TONS of experience on here ;)
