Decided on the F250 but... There was a snafu at the dealership and our hold was lost and another salesman sold it before we got up there this morning. Guess it wasn't meant to be in this one. I think we have decided to get a F 250 but have to start the search over again.
You are making the right decision. IMO, F150s are for those that are worried about fuel economy and F250s are for those that are worried about being overloaded.
In my case both would be correct. I would had rather gone to a F250. Actually had one built up and ready for a dealer search but I came to my senses and realized I couldn't afford to drive it. I would had the 6.2L as I really do not like Diesel engines unless they are in an employer truck where their expensive maintenance costs and expensive fuel won't affect my wallet.
I daily drive my truck as we aren't rich enough to have separate vehicles for every different task.:) I put on around 70 miles per day so I needed a truck that could work like a truck and still be decent on fuel. The 5.0L is even better than the previous 2010 5.4L F150 I had and is more powerful.
I think you'll love your F250 just get the 6.2L and you'll be set. Seems like all the newer redesigned diesel engines have troubles. I believe the older ones that didn't cater to the EPA were more reliable.
BTW, try to find someone with a Ford discount as an Xplan and you'll be able to purchase new at a cheaper price than a used model. My previous 2010 F150 was cheaper than used 2008 F150s when using my Xplan.
Good luck!
