I went through the growing pains of F-350 v 19000lb fifth wheel. Hitch weight (not "dry" hitch weight) is the key player here. You get into a 17k trailer, you're looking at over 3k in hitch weight alone.
I originally had the F-350 King Ranch 6.7, short bed, SRW. That's the top stickers. Had to trade it for the identical truck, but long bed and DRW. That's the bottom sticker (sorry about the angles and focus on those).
Also, if you're considering the Ford backup camera, there's two "fitment" considerations. One- it connects via a long physical cable, which will run along the top of your rig (or wherever you can more creatively run it) from the camera to the wiring harness in the bed of the truck. Check the cable length to make sure it's long enough for your trailer. Also, if considering the one with integrated TPMS, it only supports 4 trailer tires. If you're getting a bigger 5er, you may have 3 axles, which that system will not support.
