"ya you're going to need a bit more payload. As for being a daily driver, there is going to be no difference between an f250 gasser and a f350 gasser what's so ever aside from the badge. I can tell you right now add at least 500lbs to that pin weight. my cougar was advertised at 2350lbs, and it came in slightly over 3000lbs. Don't forget that pin weight is done with no options on the rv and everything empty or missing (like batteries and propane bottles which are right at the front. so, once you start adding propane and tanks, batteries, any options, water, "stuff" in the bedroom and more "stuff" in the storage below, that weight goes up drastically. I thought I would be safe with my 99 F250 diesel but I was over on the rear axle, so I had to get a newer f350"
Trucks are getting bigger and more capable. An F250 from 2010 had a 2,850 lb payload, in 2016 had a 3,100 lb payload, 2022 a 3,470 lb payload, and now in 2024 has a 3,923 lb payload (I tried to match gas 4x4 6.75' crew cabs with high trim packages). So basically the standard 2024 F250 has about the same payload and towing capacity as the standard F350 of 10 years ago. But all good points and I will take a look at the F350s as well. Thank you
