I think where the F150 gets close to the F250 in price is when you add the 3.5, Max Tow and the HDPP.
On Fords Build and Price section a super crew 6.5 box XLY starts at 43,310. Same config in an F150 is 41,165 for a difference of 2,145. No options added.
Now add Max Tow, 3.5 and HDPP @4,400 and the F150 is now 45,565 or 2,255 more than the F250.
As far as MSRP prices, when I was shopping, the 2 were very close to the same but F250 barely had any rebates and dealer wouldn't discount much. That leading to the F250 being about $5K more. At the time, I did have the HDPP package factored in.
Even with the HDPP and Max Tow, you're still limited by the hitch weight rating compared to a F250. I wouldn't get a really big TT with a 1/2 ton. Or even with a F250, I'd go up to a 5th wheel. My friend won't even consider a TT as he said they tow like ****. He'll only own 5th wheels, no matter how small it is.
Glad you were able to get a good price on your truck.
