Need tow vehicle - preferably under 10k
I'm looking for a vehicle for our travel trailer. My wife likes the sportsmen 301BHLE. It is 33 feet long and hitch weight of 880. Gross trailer weight is 8000. We both like the double bunk bed option...

I owned a 7.3 PSD Excursion and a V-10. Both will tow your trailer.
Avoid the 6.0 at all cost. It has a poor history and has been problem plagued from the start.
A 7.3 will easily go 250K but you need to consider the whole truck. While the 7.3psd will out perform the V-10 At this point I would not take a 7.3 over a V-10 if the V-10 where in better shape overall.
I think your best bargain would be a V-10 passenger van.
With a large family avoid the pick up truck just not enough passenger space vs. SUV or van
