I started with a 2010 F-150 Super-Crew 4-wheel drive with tow package and a 29BHS (Keystone). It did ok... great, really. Went from east coast to west. Only one time (mountain pass in New Mexico, I seem to recall) did the Ford anti-sway kick in and the event was over before I realized what happened. All was terrific.
Yes, as someone above mentioned, you may want to "move up". Well, we did. We went to a class A. Now, I had a truck that I thoroughly enjoyed driving as an SUV. As a daily driver (rather than a tow vehicle) in Los Angeles, it was superior in that I could see over the others on the freeways. Let me tell you... in LA, that is worth gold. Anyway, I digress.
The point is, an F-150 will be sufficient for you. If you move up to more trailer, maybe not so much. If you move up to a motorhome, you'll still enjoy the truck but you won't need more, certainly not a dually. Let me tell you... numerous times I thanked the Lord I didn't buy a dually that I would then have to drive through LA and the Hollywood Hills!
