f150 versus f250
What is the advantage/disadvantage of a f250 over a f150 if the drivetrain are the same and the tow capacity on both 15,000lbs? Would be used to pull a 27 foot travel trailer not a 5th wheel. Thank...

Received many PMs and one guy mad...wanted to sue that guy for his false
advice...told the PM person the advice here is worth the price
paid...nothing. That there was only one person responsible for the
setup...the driver and that could have been his wife if she was
driving...
He followed that 'half ton' advice...not knowing that advisor had one of these
fake half tons with a +8K GVWR and a 6K RGAWR
He burned up hid F150's rear end on the way to a long vacation in Florida/DisneyWorld
Spent all of his vacation stuck in the middle of nowhere on motel/food/etc
and the cost to have his F150's rear end rebuilt
He had a +4K RGAWR and about 2,000 lbs LESS rear axle rating than
the advisor...so of course burned up his rear end...
He lost even more money, as he had to turn around and go home...to
forfeit his deposits in Florida...
That fella doesn't seem very bright. Trying to sue an anonymous internet forum name isn't likely to go very far.
All the information is available to do your homework and determine if 'this' can tow 'that'. Caveat Emptor. Just seems these days people don't want to think through something, they just want the salesman to say "you'll be fine" before signing on the line.
