Our question is would the F-250 have a smoother ride than the F-350 when not towing? There is no chance that we will want a larger trailer so a heavier upgrade in the future is not an issue.
Currently we tow the trailer with a 2001 Dodge 2500 4x4 with a 5.9 diesel.
Gotta' do your home work when looking at F350 srw and expecting more payload than the F250.
Ford gives the F350 SRW around 19 different GVWR s ranging from 10000 lbs up to 12400 lbs and three different rawrs at 6340/6780/7230 lbs rated.
The F250 can come with 7 different gvwrs from the same 10000 gvwr up to 11200 gvwr with the same 6340 rawr.
As many Ford folks know there is a big over lap in gvwrs and rawrs with Fords Super Duty line up.
Looking at Fleet Fords weight specs shows a different number of leafs in the super duty rear spring pack which may affect ride quality or difference.
