My point being you don’t have to worry about the options you like on the 250 as it’s payload capacity even with them is more than enough. We have all the options in our 250 Ram also except the diesel. That extra $9k for the diesel wasn’t worth it or necessary with the 6.4 Hemi, besides it has a turbo with a life expectancy of 100-150k. AND it weighs 500 lbs more than 6.4 Hemi

Although I tow one with an F-150, and have no complaints, don't make the assumption that a bigger truck will prevent sway. It will not.
Sway is ONLY due to not enough weight on the tongue! And some 2670MK's can be pretty light there (can't say all, as haven't taken a survey. But mine certainly was....)
You really want it to come in at at least 12.5% of the overall weight of the trailer. As a starting place, with the trailer moderately loaded for camping, dry, aim for 900 lbs. or over. That you can check even if you don't have a truck to get it to a scale. Get a tongue weight scale from Amazon, or google how to use a bathroom scale with pipes and boards. If you are above that, great. If not, start figuring out how to get it there. Move things around, get heavy stuff to put as far up front as you can (more batteries?, a tongue mount bike rack?). For mine, it just couldn't be done. Hence the ProPride. And that would be the case no matter what truck I had.
A bigger, maybe longer, truck likely will help with many other towing issues - truck suck, ride quality, etc.2017 Imagine 2670MK

It seems no two pickups in the same line are the same. If you do go 150, I would say heavy duty payload package, which can only be ordered or else found by divine miracle. That gives you a crewcab with 6.5 box and about 2500 lb payload. Even better the super cab with 3” longer wb, 8 ft box, and 2700 lb payload.

Here's my twist since you said imagine money is not a constraint...
Just step up to a 350/3500 as there's marginal price difference but most often a considerable leap in payload and this will be a pleasure driver/2nd vehicle. Why do I say this? Because it is a statistical fact that ownership of the tow vehicle outlasts ownership of the camper. With the 1-ton, you'll will have many more options when you shop your next camper upgrade, and you won't be cart-then-horse like this time around.Rob & Nikki + Cloverfield

HAHAHA!
10 years ago i started to play bass. i had a small yamaha bass. I joined a forum, learned a lot and flipped the yamaha for a fender and grabbed a few basic effects. 2 years after i somehow ended up with a custom Dingwall 5 String bass and a pedal board filled with boutique effects that i never use.
This to say that it is also a statistical fact that forums are evil
