New Ford F-250 Lariat
Hi Everyone I’m in the process of buying/ordering a new F250 Turbo Diesel Lariat Crew Cab. It will primarily be used for towing our 30 ft., 8K lbs 5th whl. The 8K figure is scale weight as it rolls ...

Get the hitch prep package from Ford. Then select whichever hitch you prefer, plenty to choose from. The Ford OEM hitch I believe is a Reese. OR you could consider what I'm thinking of and get the Reese Goosebox and just use the gooseball and not a 5th hitch. The Goosebox is NOT an adapter, is made by Lippert Competents Inc and is said by the manufacturer to be OK with the trailer frames (they make both for the most part).
Only you can decide on how many creature comforts you want. Myself, I have a XLT. Remote start, backup camera options. It also came off the lot with the chrome package and a couple other things I wouldn't have ordered but what can I say, we needed a new truck faster than ordering allowed. The money saved got me a nice aftermarket sound system. Installed a inverter for the kids and some driving lights. Cloth seats, which I have grown to like better than the leather in my old Lariat truck.
Would I get lane keep, adaptive CC, 360 cameras, etc. Likely not. But then I miss the manual transmissions too.
Happy Trails!
