I am looking to purchase a new truck, probably later this year. In the Ford brochure under the heading of “Mechanical” it lists “Rear Suspension” and shows “Axle rating, 6,200 LBS (F-250); 7,280 LBS (...
Another vote to Buy the 1 ton. Owned them both and modified them both. I used to haul a 9 1/2 Kit camper with the 250 and also towed a light 18' jet boat. Now with the 350, I have a lighter 8 1/2 foot camper and a much heavier 24' Seaswirl striper. I wouldn't dream of asking the 3/4 ton to attempt that load. The 1 ton is very happy to commit to it.
For the dollar difference, you WILL regret the 3/4 ton
