Going out on the dirt farm lane that went uphill, the dirt would let the tires spin as the traction was gone from the angle of attack. Tried it about two times then put it in 4WD and drove right out. Many more similar stories, mine and others.
If it's a single rear wheel F350, I would go for that.
Unless you do a lot of off roading (for which an F250 or F350 is a horrible option anyway), not much benefit in going 4x4.Realistically, a 4x2 with limited slip and a 5th wheel on the back will have a ton of traction.
4WD for me!

Same can be said of a 4x4. It's plenty untill it's not and then you are further from help. Also you missed the point. Your little TT probably put 600-800lbs in the rear axle to help with traction. A relatively small 5th wheel would have put double that giving you substantially more traction.
Since this was in the 5th wheel forum, it's generally a bad idea to go over to rough of ground as it will cause the overhand to hit the truck bed rails. A TT can get away with much rougher ground.
