I bought my 2009 F250 in 2013 from a local Dodge dealer, where the previous owner traded it in on a 4 door Jeep Wrangler. When I got it, it had 14,000 miles on it, and there was no evidence that a draw bar had ever been in the hitch. No scratches or missing paint from imside the receiver. There were also no scratches in the bed. I don't believe he ever carried anything in the bed or towed anything. The salesman said the guy realized the only thing he hauled around was his grandaughter to get ice cream, so the jeep fit his lifestyle better.
I had already bought the toy hauler when I had my 2004 Tudra double cab, having fallen for the "1/2 ton towable" line. A couple tows with the Tundra convinced me I wanted more truck.
Even though it was the 5.4L, the main thing I was after was the additional payload that came with the F250. And the rest of the truck was a cream puff at a great price I would have preferred the V10, but I didn't want to do a nationwide search looking for one.
I think RV dealers indirectly sell as many tow vehicles as they do travel trailers! They put people in trailers that are way over matched for their existing tow vehicles.
