Where are you getting these payload numbers for the F150? Is that from the payload label on the door post or from the brochure.
2740 is from the sticker on the door. 2015 f150 XLT Screw 4x2 with max tow and heavy duty payload.
The 2013 f250 diesel I test drove was 1940 by sticker but it was a lariat. The 2015 f250 xlt diesel 4x4 is around 2300 by sticker I think.
I will be pulling my Sprinter 295 home today with my 15 F-150. Dry weight around 7800 and loaded is around the 10,000 mark. I will let you know how it handles.
schwipps324, this would be great. Let me know MPG, type of driving, hills, wind, etc. Also what type of F150, what options.
I paid less than $4k more than your F150 price for the truck in my sig about two months ago.
IdaD, what was the config of your RAM? Do you like the 2500 better than the 250? what were your reasons for going with the RAM over the 250?
Pulled the 35' foot sprinter home just a few hours ago. Id say it was weighing in around 8000. Have a blue ox WDH installed. 15 F150 Lariat 157" wheel base Crew Cab with max trailer tow, no HD payload. The drive was about 40 miles all highway mostly up and down the hills of northern kentucky. I did about an average of 65 mph I would say. Locked it out of 6th gear and ran 5th and 4th. The truck pulled the hills in 4th with ease at about 2800 rpm. never even felt like it was working. On the flats 5th gear pulled at 65 at around 2100 rpm. Only complaint about the trip is the semis. If youre next to one you will feel it suck you in or push you out. Overall 8.5 mpg. All in all pretty happy with it. All depends on what type and how much driving you plan on doing. I would suggest though if you get a SD go with a diesel. The 6.2 gassers dont impress me and I honestly think your fuel economy would be even worse the ecoboost.
