Towing MPG
Hi All! Pretty serious about changing from Class C motorhome to Truck-trailer combo, due to overall costs associated with driving it. The biggest trailer we're looking at is about 8,000 dry & 10,400...

If you have good reasons for staying with a '1/2 ton' and go with an F150 I would get the Max Payload option to beef up the suspension. Those are tough to get on a lot so that means putting in an order for your truck. That also means you get just the packages you want. Would not expect to save any $ over the F250. But you may have other reasons for staying with the F150 (vehicle height, non-towing mpg, etc.).
Good luck,

Just to clarify, you're mixing up the F150 packages.
The HD Payload package gives you the beefed up suspension for a heavier PAYLOAD capacity.
The Max Tow package gives other features for a higher TOWING capacity, like rear view camera and 36 gallon fuel tank.
With the HDPP, I believe it automatically comes with the Max Tow package.
