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...

Payload capacity.
The maximum payload capacity of a new F150 is 3300lbs, if set up correctly.
The payload range of an F250 runs from 2950lbs to 7050lbs.
And you're as mis-informed as the OP.......unless I missed the "new" F250 with a 7klb payload rating. Whole truck only weighs 7-8klbs.
I pulled those numbers straight from Fords website.
F150 with the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8
GVWR 7850lbs
maximum payload rating of 3300lbs.
Here is the link for 2015
F-150
The F-250 SRW 4x4 172.4" WB Crew Cab
GVWR 9900lbs
Maximum Payload Rating 2880lbs
F-250
Your right about the 7000lbs, that was for F-350 DRW 4x2. My mistake on that. The highest payload for a new F-250 is 4040. The other numbers are right on target though. Please excuse my ignorance.
