250 vs 350

When I ordered my 2019, I downloaded the Super Duty literature from the Ford web site. It was pretty good but needs to be read carefully. A regular salesman was no help. I ordered through the commercial truck salesman. He was knowledgeable. I believe the payload/pin weight is your most critical issue. Either truck can tow your 5th wheel, but only one might handle your loaded hitch weight.

When you think of pin weight, you should know pretty well how much the stuff in your basement storage weighs, because most of that weight is on the hitch. Plus if you have a front bedroom, you have weight of stuff in the wardrobe, dressers, and stuff stored under the bed. That stuff mostly rests on the hitch. It would not surprise me if your loaded pin weight is 800 pounds more than your empty pin weight.
