Looking for a truck a little south of you would allow you to get something with little or no rust.

Meh, while I would tend to agree, my neighbor has an original eco 150 and it is still going with no issue other than the original injector issue that Ford took care of.
And I am also in the "I do not need a 2500/250 for occasional towing as long as I am in the safe towing weights".
I have 1000s of miles towing "heavy" travel trailers in spec with a RAM 1500.
Usually it is the driver/owner not the vehicle that causes the issues. but I digress.
