If we move up to something bigger, it would probably be an F250. Don't
need
anything more than that, as long as it had a good diesel.


Really isn't much difference between a F250 and a F350 other than spring
blocks and official factory ratings. But, depending on what you are
towing,
you need to make sure the rating (even if it's just on paper) is high
enough
to be legal.

Something along the 25-28 foot fifth wheel. The 250 is a pretty popular
tow
vehicle from what we've seen at the campsites.



If and when the times comes, it's worth doing your homework. As I
mentioned, the differences between the F250 and F350 are minor and mostly on
paper. No point in spending the extra $$ for a F350. I suspect a F250
will be more than enough for a fiver in that size range, but don't take my
word for it. It's been awhile since I did all that investigation.
