Sadly, I can't address the newer truck's capabilities as you are asking, but a number of things can make a difference in one's choices.
I think I saw that the 2020 F250 had a slightly shorter bedrail than previous years. My fiver is on a gooseneck and has a ton of clearance on the 2001 F350. Hopefully it's not an issue!
