Generic questions about 5-ers

Most of the advice here to buy an F350 over an F250 is about experience. Can you tow many 5th wheels with a 250 - absolutely. But then you limit yourself. You get a trailer that works today, but then you want to upgrade, front kitchen, washer dryer, toy hauler, now all of a sudden that 250 doesn't have the payload and your looking at trucks again. If you have to buy a truck, the F350 SRW is exactly the same size as the comparable 250 but has more payload. And, most likely, the same price in a used truck. The problem most people have on this site is they buy too small of truck then try to figure out how to haul too large of trailer. Best to get the right truck up front. Also, don't let the salesman tell you you can tow any trailer with a 250 diesel, or even an F150. Listen to everyone here, you can't. You will regret it in the end. I have a 2500 (GM) my only regret is that I don't have a 1 ton and can't upgrade my trailer. Every trailer I look at would require a truck with more capacity. It's similar to TV's, you can't buy one that is too big... So, get the bigger truck, it doesn't hurt to pull too small of load, only if you try to pull too large of load.
