I'm not Matt, but the F-250 will do it fine. Of course, my F-250 is really a
350 (so I'm told) because it has the tow package and the camper package...
which means extra leaf springs and heavy duty stuff.... I have looked and my
truck matches more 350s underneath than 250s.

You don't need a dually..... they give extra support for goosenecks and fifth
wheels.... 350s come with or without duals.

Actually I have the 6.75 foot bed..... with the crew cab. It's near
impossible to make a uturn in this truck. Not sure why, have been told
because of the 4WD. Every parking space in a mall is a 3 point turn.
My friend has a 1 ton Chevy with crew cab and 8 foot bed and the truck turns
in much smaller radius than mine. Go figure.
