Am I going to regret my decision?

Chris......You should not concern yourself on others opinions on the truck being their choice. Enjoy your truck. You made the decision based on what you thought was best for you.

We all buy a vehicle for different reasons. Some want to be economical, some want the safest, some the fastest, some want just a truck that will do the job and others want the biggest just for what it is, the biggest.

You made your choice. Only you will know down the road if you made the right choice. How this truck works for you will determine your next purchase, it being the same truck or something completely different.

Enjoy!

That's a lovely sentiment! I would add that rather than make the decision based on what you "think" is correct, best thing the OP could have done is to weigh the trailer fully loaded and get an accurate tongue weight as well. As others have pointed out, the EB has plenty of power, but the 150 has a LOT less cargo carrying capability than a 350. If the OP has become accustomed to carrying his golf cart or other heavy stuff in the bed of his truck, he will be disappointed in the fact that his new 150 is overloaded and drives poorly.

For those who mentioned brakes, stopping the trailer is not the issue, the trailer has its own brakes for that. IF the 150 is within it's load rating (GVWR, not tow rating), it will be fine. BUT without any TT weights or info about how the OP packed his 350, he'll have to wait until spring to hit the scales and see where he stands...

Oh, wait a minute....the OP never went to the scales with his 350 so he likely ain't gonna take the 150 either....so I guess we will never know the answer here.

Agree the 350 diesel is a killer on a short commute and more than needed for the trailer, but can't say if the 150 will do the job....a 250 with the V-10 may have been the right choice.
