Depends on exactly what you really want. If you want the best, most comfortable towing, get a DRW truck. If you are 10% against a DRW get an F350 SRW, then last choice would be an F250. Personally, I see absolutely no reason to ever buy another F250 if I ever plan on towing a 5th wheel. I've towed with an F250 and will never buy one gain for a 5th wheel and I much prefer a long bed. I don't need a slider hitch and I don't have to worry about hitting the cab, both are benefits to the long bed. I now tow a 43 foot 5th wheel toy hauler with a 2015 F450 and would not even go back to an F350 DRW for my current trailer.
A friend of mine sold his motor home and bought a 40 foot plus 5th wheel about year ago. I told him not to buy an F250 for his 5th wheel as it was too big and he'd be trading within about a year but he bought the F250 anyways. He just traded his one year old F250 to a 2016 F450. RV owners seem to trade up so I suggest getting the right truck to start with and be done with the truck part.
Thank you for your advice C130H.. I am going with a 350 SRW, and If the cost isn't much more I just may go DRW... Getting ready to get one here in a few more months... Wish me luck...
