I understand your issue.. the 2007 which is the 6.0L navistar engine could be one PITA engine.. but, when bulletproofed did become a very good engine with lot of HP/torque and above average MPG.
Just in a dollars and sense look if the' 07 is paid off the engine upgrades run 5-7K. Having a new vehicle is nice if you can swing the payments and such. New "car" warranty is a good thing but at what cost.
the new ford 2015s are nice indeed and going for some 50K.
ME, I try to find ways not to spend money is possible when possible. But sometime you gotta do what you gotta do..

Honestly, from what I have read your diesel will get as good fuel economy as the Eco?. So IMHO why change??
1) I have had one too many issues with the 2007 and want to buy something new with a warranty again.
2) I like the newer trucks and just want one

I think the 150 would work for you, with that trailer. You will be happy with the EB towing power. Be sure of the actual payload, of the truck you are going to purchase. If 2,000 plus, you'll be fine there too.
I don't think the price of a new 250 gas, would be much more than the EB 150. If you are used to the Super Duty ride, the 6.2 gas is a strong puller.
Either truck will work, for your setup. The 150 will ride better, when not towing, if that is a concern.

Last year I downsized my RV from a 5th wheel to a travel trailer and have loved my decision. I feel a lot more comfortable towing my new, lighter travel trailer instead of a 11,000lb 5th wheel.
