My F150 is almost 6000lbs. So yes, there is at least a 1000lb difference, maybe a little more? But I have contemplated that, too. I've towed with much more weight on the F150 than I did on my recent trip towing with the F250, including 4 more people and all of their carp...which I promise weighed more than 1000 lbs. This last trip was just me and one of our dogs.

Sounds to me like you may want to run down to the Ford dealer today and unload that F250, cut your losses. You're never going to be satisfied? You want the Powerstroke. Or an F250 with ecoboost that Ford does not offer, and most likely never will for a whole host of reasons. One of which is the Super Duty's are designed for construction companies and such. Companies that beat them to death daily towing equipment, and usually not paying any attention to specifications and capacities like youre supposed to do according to the weight police on forums, not the general public towing RV's.

Apples to Oranges and designed for two totally different markets and purposes.

From reading through this thread it leads me to believe you still have the F150? Have you parked one beside the other and crawled underneath, comparing the differences in everything under them, and some stuff not under them like the cooling arrangemets? The F250 is much more capable in the long run than any F150 no matter what's under the hood or in any max package.

I don't hate the F250 and don't mean to come off like I'm bashing it. Just makes me even more impressed with the EB. I understand what you are saying and that's exactly why I went with the F250 and why I'll stick with it. It's a safer truck that should last longer.
It's just not going to hold speed or gears as well when towing.
