F250 or F350
DW mentioned that perhaps we should start looking for new TV and being a typical fella, that was interpreted as let's get a new TV not just look.
We're kinda looking at both the F250 and F350, equality equipped same engine, tranny, axle ratio, tires, trim etc, etc, etc. F250 has GVWR of 10000k, F350 - 11500
We tow a 36ft TT empty weight 8300lbs, Trailer GVWR of 9500. Tongue weight of 1200lbs. We've currently got a using a F250 which pulls it fine.
Decision was made long ago that we'd never get a fifth wheel due to physical limitations.
There were some issue getting in & out of the one F350 we test drove but we've got an adaptation plan in place (small step as a first step that would have to be placed on the ground) But did not have the same issue in a F250 we also test drove.
We're going out again to just climb in and out of a couple more, to see if this one 350 had some different configuration that caused the problem.
Basic question to others is, should we get the F350 and use our adaptation plan or get a F250? Would the F350 really provide a better towing experience than a F250?
Yes they are both 4WD. That is one of her requirements.
Thank you.
