I have a 2010 Hideout 30BHDS. It comes in around 9,000lbs for everyday camping and is 34' +/- bumper to ball.
I towed it last year with a 2013 F-150 Crew Cab Max Tow.
I towed it this year with a 2015 F-250 Crew Cab Gasser.
The F-150 had all the power in the world and I believed it was stable on the highway around 60mph. I did not feel comfortable going over that. The Ecoboost was top notch
The F-250 just feels more stable and safe. The 6.2L, while a good engine, does rev high and work harder than the EB did. But stopped, handleing and overall feel is better with the heavier truck.
After the two experiences, I would go with the 3/4 ton all the time when given the chance.
