i agree, if ya need one get one but if you don't then dont feel pressured into a f350. When i built my f250 as a f350 about 6 weeks ago f350 was over 1k more. Mines rated for over 16k i believe and has a 3,941 payload -- 23' f250 7.3 ccsb.

Opinions are like belly buttons. Everyone has one: some are cute, some are ugly, all have some lint in them.
I think you are in the sweet spot for a 7.3 Godzilla motor and F250 IF you stay at 10k on the RV.
If you go bigger, you will want the dual rear wheels and F350.
I towed 9800 pounds for 5 years with my F250, and it was a very successful combination. I can't speak to the gasser motor though, mine was the 6.7 . But lots of chatter here and at at local campgrounds where I go about the big motor being good at moving a load and getting it down the road.
Kepp us posted when you get it.

i just got a f250 2023 7.3l about 2 months ago and i am loving it except as one might think the fuel mileage is not as good as the f150 but tows my trailer so much better. i got the 4x4 with 3.73 gears and it will pull 17k according to ford hell i hardley even notice the trailer behind me now. headed to west virginia in a couple of weeks and will see how it does over the fancy gap on i77.now mine is only a xlt short bed, so it only has the 34 gal tank

Or 3.55/3.73’s vs 4.30’s.
So why should I have gotten a F-350, instead of a F-250 to pull a less than 5k lbs travel trailer and go off pavement? For the harsher ride?
