Almost found a truck

This 250 wouldn’t do the job? Max trailer weight, payload?

A long box is next to impossible to find around here and fortunately so is a f250 hard to find. I think if I were to go long box I might go all the way to duals ..... not going to happen on my next truck but maybe the one after that.

Long bed, check; crew cab, check; cloth seats, check; vinyl floors, check; 7.3, check; 4.30 check; F350..... nope. If it was a 350, I would have really been impressed, but for some reason it’s a 250.


Oh well, guess I’ll keep driving my old truck.

Add the 350 spring pack and you have a F350, re badge it and no one will know unless they check the vin.

I believe the rear axle is also bigger on the F350.

We had a heck of a time finding our truck. Luckily my friend is a dealer in MD. Had what we wanted and bought it over the phone. But we looked for almost 2 mos solid within a 4 hr radius.

Door sticker will be a dead giveaway too that it's no an F350

Just go in, ask for the sales manager and order what you want. I feel like I get a better price that way in most cases.

Obviously not Ford guy, you need to do some reading. I will guarantee I park the F250 next to an F350 of the same year you will not know the differance without looking at the badging or Vin. Ford/Lincoln/Mercury mechanic for years and owned super duties since 1999. Pick a part and et a part number, same for ether truck.

The aforementioned article was written over four years ago, so it does not necessarily apply to new trucks today. It certainly applied to my 2000 F250, which thanks to its Camper package it is identical to the same year F350. One thing I picked up on Ford's website is that apparently the gas F250 use a six speed Torqshift-G transmission while all F350s have the 10 speed. Even if every other nut and bolt were identical that alone would be reason enough to get a F350.
