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?
He just needs to look. I found 2 Max Tow F150's in the 3 months I was looking. One went in a few days and the one I bought was not listed as Max Tow by the Toyota dealer I bought it from. But the Window Sticker said it had Max Tow.
He needs to do the #'s and buy a truck that will work within those limits. I'd rather have a newer (under 5 yrs) F150 at the max than a 10 year old 3/4 ton that has a bazillion miles on it. That's what the truck market was like here last year.
