Currently sitting in Angel fire New Mexico, on our 4th cross country trip with a 28 safari and our 08 ford f150 4x4 with the 5.4 and all the packages.

That should speak volumes, please read some of my past post on the abilities of the new generation 150 series fords. This truck is more than enough, have your hitch set up properly, I prefer the dual cam by reese. Simple and very effective. Just filled up in pueblo colorado for 2.65 gallon on e85. I can not find a calculator or accountant that would justify a rough riding and very expensive 250 diesel. I lease and the math is very simple, I get a loaded 150 lariat with an interior that looks like an expensive suv for hundreds less /month than a work truck 250 with diesel. The issue is more than that, even though the truck is 50% utilized for towing, the non towing use is no comparison. Just drive a 250, hit some railroad tracks and pot holes, and then take the 150. The only person who could justify the difference is your back doctor. The beautiful advantage of an airstream is how easy they tow, get a fifth wheel and all the space if you move up to a 250.
