Going out on the dirt farm lane that went uphill, the dirt would let the tires spin as the traction was gone from the angle of attack. Tried it about two times then put it in 4WD and drove right out. Many more similar stories, mine and others.
If it's a single rear wheel F350, I would go for that.
Unless you do a lot of off roading (for which an F250 or F350 is a horrible option anyway), not much benefit in going 4x4.Realistically, a 4x2 with limited slip and a 5th wheel on the back will have a ton of traction.

Looks like I am going to go with the f350. I am also looking at a 2008 Lariat F350 4x4 that is $25,000. The 2015 is $53,000. Now time to make some decisions...

I also agree with going with the F350, and make sure it is a dually, as long as you are going up just as well get the best setup for towing duallies are more stable.

I have ti disagree. I have had one 4X2 F250 and three 4X4 F350's. I will not go back to a 4X2. I don't use the 4 wheel drive often; but when I need it, it's there. I use it most often on slippery, wet boat ramps. Obviously, I don't have the weight of a fiver in the bed on boat ramps. I also use it on wet grassy slopes with the fiver. On the very rare occasions when I am in snow, I am happy to have a 4x4.

Yes, the 6.4 was introduced in 2008. It has 350 HP and 650 ft-lb of torque. 2015 engines are rated at 440 horsepower and 860 lbยทft. So you can there is a very big difference. The best thing that can be said about the 6.4 is that it wasn't as bad as the 6.0 that came before it.
