Which truck would be better for my TT

A 2500 oil burner for that weight

Good advice. Once you get in the mountains you will be asking a lot of either of those two trucks. It will hard on them, especially the transmissions.

It is easy in the showroom or RV show to get sold on a big trailer. Then the saleman says "you won't have any problems." Actually you will.

If you tow in the flatlands it might be different.

I have a friend that bought a new 30 foot trailer "to save money on motels." He pulled it with a Jeep Cherokee and burned up the transmission. Then he went out on bought a new pick-up with a Banks set-up. So much for saving money.

We just bought a F250 Crew Cab 4x4 6.2liter to pull our Sunnybrook 298 Bunkhouse. You want as much truck in front of the trailer that you can afford. Though I wanted a diesel there wasn't one available and with the 6 speed it handles the hills. Already having to emergency stop the on board brake controller was better than the Prodigy I had in the suburban. We are very happy with this set up and our TT is over 7,000lbs

I wouldn'tt pull your trailer with anything less than a 3/4 ton regardless the make. Otherwise you will feel the strain and it will cost you more later in repairs.

I have found an F-150 limits out with about 6000 lbs. scale weight. That is about 5000 lbs. dry weight.

The issue is max cargo capacity which limits your tongue weight who and what you hall.

A little late for this discussion but I have a very similar setup and can offer some real world advice.
I own a 2017 Outback 323BH. Please do not flog me to death here as I know well enough the mistake I made in purchasing my tow vehicle. I tow it with a 2016 Ford-F150 Screw EB 3.5 with the Max Tow package (11,800 lbs). The truck has the XLT package. My truck is the 4x4 and the yellow sticker on the door says my cargo capacity is 1892 lbs.
I have a family of 5 (3 smaller kids). I was miss informed by the dealer (go figure) and purchased the Keystone Outback thinking all was well within the limits. I purchased a Husky WDH with the TT and had it all set up at the dealer.
Real world tow was very uncomfortable. The F-150 EB is a STRONG STRONG engine. It has more than enough power to pull the load and the RPM range is quite impressive. It has no problem with the tow. The issue comes in with the handling and the sway of such a large TT.
The truck pulls and stops the TT fine. The handling of the long TT is horrendous. To help with the problem I took the truck to Tampa Spring Co. and had an extra leaf added to the spring pack. (4 vrs the standard 3 the truck comes with). This made a huge improvement. Next I upgraded the tires to LT’s. This also helped the ride considerably. This is ~$2,000 in cost that I would not have incurred if I hade chosen a 250 from the start.
So now my setup pulls OK, but please understand this is not the setup you should strive for. If I had it to do all over again, I would get a lighter, shorter TT or an 250.
Real world numbers, my F-150 EB gets 19.5 mpg not towing. I get 9 mpg pulling my camper. I love the F150 for my daily drive and the truck is an outstanding product with lots of capacity. But when you hook it to a 35+ foot TT you definitely know it is back there.

Go diesel and smile till the bills come in. Been there, done that...

Do you already own the trailer you want to tow, or was that the trailer you were wanting to buy?

Sounds like you had your mind made up on a 150 from the start. Good luck, you will NOT have a pleasant towing experience.

I am in agreement with everyone else.... Too much trailer for a 150. Diesel is nice but not necessary, but definitely a 250/2500 series truck.

We have a Sprinter 316BIK (36 Feet) and I have had 2 GMC 2500 Crew Cab Diesels (2008 and 2011 which i have now) Before that We had a Dodge Ram 2500 crew cab 5.7 V8 gasser. I will never drive another gas truck again. I work 2 miles from my house.... its not miles per gallon.... Its smiles per gallon.

The Diesel tows better than the gas truck did, and its better when im out all night plowing (uses less fuel).

50mph? I go faster than that through the car wash! We run 60-65mph. As I get older, it's easier to run 60mph without feeling anxious to go faster.
