F-250/F-350?

[Redterpos3]

Anyone know the difference between an F-250 and F-350? The tow ratings are pretty much exactly the same? Any important differences in the build quality?

Yea, no kidding!!! Have fun on your trip! We leave in under 6 weeks for Florida ourselves. We can't do the whole winter, unfortunately, so only 2.5 weeks.

Hope you have a great time with the new truck. This will be the first LONG trip in our new diesel truck, so I hope the extra cost is worthwhile!

Update: WeatherTech floor liners arrived today, and I "installed" them! My CB fits perfectly on top of my floor liner, but under the flip down cupholder, I just need some velcro to affix it more permanently in that spot!

We are just about fully loaded and ready for our first trip to FL tomorrow!! A few more things to add in the AM, and we will be off for our first trip with our new truck!!

I can access a lot of my stuff, via my flip up windows in my cap (love those, they will prove quite handy!)!! Still learning the best spot for each of my bins, and stuff I have in the back of the truck, but this is a learning trip!

It all boils down to payload capacity.

The F250 is the lowest, the F350 has more payload capacity and the DRW has more payload capacity.

Look at the Ford towing guide and you will see the numbers.

As for the believers of the F250 and the F350 are the same...well, it you go to the store to buy a ruler, they have 12" rulers, and they have yard sticks (36") rulers. You need to measure 18", wouldn't it be better to get a yard stick and measure it instead of using a 12" ruler and shifting it for 6" more.

In short, you buy the right tool for the job.

Ken, you're clearly can't be bothered to research for yourself. The trucks have been proven, by anyone who has taken the time to check, to be the same. Apparently you're more concerned about the sticker on the ruler than the actual length and anyone with eyes and a computer can verify that every part is identical other than the emblems and the door jamb sticker.

Aside from all that, the OP has made their decision and is happy with their purchase...

Another Update: Leer Cap has been installed.

It includes:

• sliding side windoors (which open up!):
  a Leer locker mounted to the top and it drops down to open up, and stows away up into the ceiling, very sturdy:
  Thule bars on top:
  Bed Rug:

You will like the flip up access of the side windows. I will not have another one that does not have this feature.

Nice cap, I like it! Did you get the original bedrug or the new BedTred rug? I'm really leaning towards the BedTred rug, but want to hear real opinions about it.

I got the original BedRug. I didn't want the harder material, which I assume is what the BedTred is, but I didn't look too hard at it.

Question on your picture that shows Passenger/Payload info. Says there is room for 6 passengers and you have a Lariat model? Do you have bench seating and not have the front center console?

Yes, bench seating, but the middle seat back goes down, and there are 2 cupholders and a lift up space for goodies, plus a small indentation for a phone. Then when you push the seat back up DW can snuggle closer, which she likes;)

Looks good and again, I'll make the statement that I wish I had gone with Leer versus my Snugtop canopy. I would have loved to have that internal top tray. Would have worked perfect for a surfboard before moving to CO. Not much surfing going on here 😞

The Weather Tech mats are good. I have them front, rear, and in the bed and have zero complaints.

Latest addition: Just ordered weathertech floor liners both front and back. I did review a few of the others mentioned in various posts on here, but decided on these.

Our new truck is getting a lot of presents this Christmas, hmmmm........I guess this is our new "baby," and it needs a lot to protect and take care of it. I may need to drive it in the middle of the night for a while so it can settle down....:B

Accessorizing is just as exciting as the new vehicle itself! Enjoy the ride...
