I'd sure like to thank everyone for all their advice and recommendations. After looking at multiple trucks; comparing this and that, power trains, etc. the opportunity/deal was too good to pass up on a brand new 2017 Ford F-250 XLT gas at one of our local dealers so we made the plunge and got it.
So far we have made two short trips towing the TT and we don't have any regrets thus far.
We have planned a trip in a few weeks to Arizona from out home in No. Calif. so we will see just how everything works out. Now if I could just figure out why the wardrobe slide out stopped working, I'll be one happy camper.
Congrats on the new TV!

You won't regret the F-250 choice. We have a Zinger 32QB, and while my 2015 Sierra 1500 towed it very well, you could tell we were close to the limit.
I "upgraded" to a 2015 Silverado 2500 (6L gas), and while daily driver mileage isn't the best, I can't wait to tow with it. I expect it will be much better.
The 2500 choice was also made with the future in mind. Kids are 14/16, so a 5er upgrade is not so far away as it may seem.
