We are likely going to buy a new Ford with the 7.3 V-8 and 373 axles. We tow a 2 Horse Living Quarters aluminum trailer that weighs 5500 empty and has a 10,000 max GVW.
Our question is would the F-250 have a smoother ride than the F-350 when not towing? There is no chance that we will want a larger trailer so a heavier upgrade in the future is not an issue.
Currently we tow the trailer with a 2001 Dodge 2500 4x4 with a 5.9 diesel.
The F250 will very likely ride a little smoother with the standard spring pack. Many auto writers who been testing the 2023 Super Duty's have reported these new trucks ride smoother than the previous year/s trucks so its a win... win... We recently recieved our 2023 F350 7.3 and that truck is a beast and rides better than my personnal '12 truck, but can't say how it rides compared to a F250. Sounds like a F250 would be the ticket for your needs.
