Most of my towing has been done with an International Paystar 5000 (normally pulling a 32 cubic meter end dump trailer full of gravel) or a Mk 31 MTVR tractor pulling a 53' equipment trailer with a dozer or excavator on it. Your trailer won't need that much truck. That F250 sounds like it should do the job for the load you're talking about. Do ensure that you have working trailer brakes. A brake controller to tune the brake response between truck and trailer is a good idea.
