There are those that will ( and are) say your truck is just fine towing the 3791. We just bought the 3791 in November. I had originally upgraded to the F350SRW, but after doing some extensive research on the pin weight of the fiver, I realized I had only a couple hundred pounds to spare. So I traded that truck in and bought the F350DRW. I used to tow a lighter fifth wheel with a 150 with airbags. Airbags only level the load, they do not increase the amount the suspension can handle. The payload of a 250 really isn't that much, if you are in any doubt, upgrade the truck. Trust me, you will feel much more comfortable going down an 8% grade with the larger truck. As for Chevy or Ford; that's a personal preference.
Now, the 3791...what a great rig! We were just up in Boone over the weekend and unfortunately it rained most of the time we were there. The individual rooms in the 3791 make it feel much more like home and no one was feeling cramped being inside most of the time.
