IMO, F150s are for those that are worried about fuel economy and F250s are for those that are worried about being overloaded.
Good luck!
That's not always the case.
I grew up around trucks and have driven just about everything out there. In fact many many many years ago when I was 16 and first got my drivers license I took my test in one of the F-250s that my parents had for their construction company.
In my own case, I really wanted an F-250. I didn't get one as most of the time my F-150 is more truck than I need. The few times I need more truck I can borrow one. Now the F-150 does limit me to 8,900lbs with the options I have on it and that's a bit light for a toy hauler, but I really don't need anything huge as all I really want is something along the lines of a Fun Finder XT-190. In other words big enough to hold the Harley, have a nice bed, kitchen, and bathroom.
Another concern was that when I bought my F-150 I couldn't afford more than what I spent. And that was with the discounts on the 2008 when the 2009s came out, and a D plan.
So yes you're right that many people will concern themselves with mileage. And even that is tough as my F-150 actually gets better mileage than my old 4.0L Ranger.
