Gas ford f250 vs Chevy Silverado 2500 towing.
I'm trying to figure out which gas truck to buy. Chevy 2500 or f250. Are these the exact same? It looks on my research ford tow rating 12,300 and Chevy 13,000. Unless I'm reading it wrong. Has anyone ...

Ralph, every truck is gonna bounce with 80lbs in the tires and an empty bed running down a rough highway to pickup a load of rebar. Drop the tire pressure for better ride or keep it up for the loads.
Still trying to remember the traditional trickiness of the F250s I've had compared to the Chevys. Can't just yet, but I'm sure it'll come to me.....
(Btw I thought they drove fine)
I get what he's talking about, but it was MUCH more pronounced when Ford still used the twin I beam (or twin traction beam on 4x4) suspension. Those trucks IMO drove fine but they did require a little more attention going down the road, especially Dad's old '86 F250. I've owned two but have driven (and still drive) trucks with that suspension a lot. I've also owned two GM trucks with the IFS and they just drive a little tighter. The newest Fords drive night and day better than the older ones, but it's still nothing like my VW Golf wagon. I haven't really driven a GM truck newer than about 2010 but I imagine if anything they are still great. Long story short, all the new trucks drive WAY better than their predecessors and you can't go wrong with any of them!
Ohhhh, he was comparing to the old TTB front axles? My mistake. I thought we were talking about new(er) trucks in this thread. I should have known......
