I tow a 40' 5'er with a loaded weight of 14k lbs. I used to own an 05 F250 Powerstroke Diesel and it towed it great. With this new truck, I can't even tell it's back there. I really need to punch it to get it to drop down to 5th gear. It gives me from 10-11mpg at 70mph. I love it. Here's a pic.
Since you'd be carrying more weight than me, I'd go at least F350. Good Luck.
And yes, it squats down quite a bit from the rear but that's cuz it's got a minor lift on it. Sit's completely level with no weight on it. No biggy.

To the OP:

Here's the first comprehensive test and comparison. This is being discussed in another thread.
