I pull my 38' Keystone Raptor with a '08 F450 now (photo above is a previous 48' Haulmark). It works pretty well (H&S programmer, 4" exhaust, CAI, DPF delete) for that trailer and honestly, it's going to be hard to beat. What you mentioned is a big concern for me due to the fact that when we travel on vacation with this setup, often times my wife will leave out in the F450 herself. She's not a fan of driving the "big" truck, so I'm sure she wouldn't be a fan of driving the even larger truck. Definitely something weighing heavy on my list. If I went with a HDT, I would be a full time chaperone for her shopping trips. At least I would have a sleeper, though.
