f150 specs-what do I need
Hi all, Been lurking here for a few years. Have never been able to make peace with a 3/4 ton TV since it's needed as a daily driver. Looking at some f150's for hubby to use daily, but can tow....

Keep the trim level reasonable and you can get into a diesel HD truck for what many spend on half tons. That way you get extra capability and good fuel economy. I don't find my truck uncomfortable at all as a daily driver.
x2.
But beyond that, you ain't touching a F250 diesel for anywhere near the same price as a comparable (similarly trimmed and optioned) F150 Ecoboost.
Yeah with the same options the diesel will run you more. But you can get a Powerstroke in a basic trim for what the average F150 sells for (about $46k if I'm remembering right). I prefer more truck with less fluff but opinions vary on that.
