But alas, it's paid for and another payment with in a son in college isn't in the cards. An F250 can be Too Much Truck!! (contrary to popular belief) for a whole bunch of reasons.
You guys can argue fuel types all day but it is the chassis that has to be up to the task. Running overloaded is not fun, no matter what you put in the tank.
Which is the OP most likely to find on the used market, a F-150 with 1,750 pounds of payload or a F-250 with over 1,800 pounds?
OP- figure out what payload you need and buy the vehicle that suits your needs. Forget what everyone else needs.
