i would say if the trailer weighs a bit much, i would go with a 7.3 diesel or a 460v8 (found in the f350's). if it doesnt weigh as much, you could go with a 351v8 (which are found in f250's) and get a little better gas mileage than the 460. but either way, diesels get better mpgs, and they can pretty much pull a house down. good luck.
