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...

I say not 'educated' on this topic...AKA ignorant, which these days
has a negative connotation...pure definition of ignorant is not
knowledgeable on the topic...
Take my buddies parents who took advice from this portal.
Buddy is a double masters and Phd in bio-tech. We were always neck
and neck out on the track....his Rx7 vs my 240Z.
His parents are salts of this earth, but never finished high school
and farmed a 40 acre orchard all their lives bought after WWII with their GI bill money
Refinanced several times to pay for buddies older brothers masters
and for my buddies PhD.
Helped them sell their orchard and the millions was beyond belief
for a dirt poor farmer...and at +80 years old...decided to buy
a trailer and visit friends through the Calif Central Valley
Advisers were discussing a Toyota Highlander and how it could tow
XYZ and 123 lbs with ease and no problems.
They were talking SECOND gen Highlander, which was based on the
Toyota Mini Van, Sienna...and...buddies dad bought a used FIRST
gen Highlander based on the Camery...
Received a call from buddy asking about HOW2 setup a WD Hitch
system for his dad's Highlander...they were on the side of the
road out on Highway99 somewhere
Talked him through it via cell...to find out later that buddy also
had problems and crawled to the next city...the swaying was so bad
These are bright folks...just not knowledgeable on towing

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.
