If I remember correctly, to get max tow and max payload F150 it required Eco boost and a few other knick nacks, pushes the price of that combination OVER what I paid for my XLT Gas F250 and I get over 900 lbs more payload to boot.

A $60K F150 with 2500 lbs capacity OR a $43K F250 with 3400 lbs capacity.. No brainer for me, the F250 wins every time :B

Not having to count potato chips every time I want to tow is priceless..

You don't remember correctly, $60K is total bullsheet. It did that comparison in March, price difference is about $2K any with incentives I paid way less than your $45K.

$60K IS pretty much right on what it would cost to get into a "loaded" F150 WITh Eco AND Maxpayload along with a buunch of other items in order to get it to a "similar" equivalent platform of a basic F250..

I just redid the configurator for a 2019 F150, I STOPPED configuring once it hit $55K and that is still not really an "equivalent" to my 2019 F250, period.

I also looked at my window sticker, the MSRP on mine was $44K, subtract the difference between MSRP and Invoice price we got then subtract $2500 in Private cash offer then add in all the taxes and fees and we paid OUT THE DOOR $35K.

You did not and cannot buy a F150 with the SAME cargo capacity as my 2019 F250, I also rechecked that, my yellow sticker shows that I have 3,719 lbs of cargo capacity.. That IS DOUBLE what you can get in the average F150 on the dealer lots.

There ARE some MAJOR differences between a F150 and F250 in what you can get.

A couple of examples are..

F150 base you do not get TOWING mirrors, F250 YOU DO, STANDARD

F150 towing mirrors which ARE "optional" but are MANUAL FOLD/EXTEND ONLY, F250 you can get POWERSCOPE POWER FOLD/EXTEND (extremely handy for tight garage and parking lots.

F150, you cannot get 15K 2.5" hitch, F250 15K 2.5" hitch IS STANDARD.

F150, you CAN'T get 10K GVWR Package (neither Max tow or Max Payload offer that much in fact you MAX OUT at 8500 GVWR on the F150), F250 10K GVWR package is STANDARD.

F150 comes with PASSENGER TIRES, no FACTORY LT options, Max Tow REQUIRES UPGRADED RIMS AND PASSENGER TIRES, F250 COMES WITH LT TIRES STANDARD and you don't have to pay for a upgrade.

You also need to note that the max cargo with Eco/max tow does not happen with a fully loaded SCREW.. Thet brochure numbers is from a STRIPPED DOWN BASE (XL)REGULAR CAB 4x2 with only the Eco/ max tow/trailer package in 4x2..

Fine print from Fords 2019 F150 towing guide that everyone ignores..

"
Max payload on 2019 F-150 XL Regular Cab, 8' box, 5.0L engine, 4x2, Heavy-Duty Payload Package and 18" heavy-duty wheels. Not shown. Class is full-size pickups under 8,500-lb. GVWR based on Ford segmentation. "

Nobody buys a stripped down XL model now days unless under duress..

Once you start decorating your F150 Christmas tree, you start losing payload..
