I think that you owe it to yourself to completely price out the F150 and the F250. You might be surprised to learn that there is less difference than you think.
Dunno how you folks do that. I always end up 7-10K Can$ more for the F250 6.2L versus F150 EcoB with HD Payload and similar features. Thats either on the lots or with the build feature.
But I would expect to pay more. The F250 is a heavier built truck, and they build fewer of them than the F150.
Since you need to add in the engine, tires, suspension, tow package and more to get closer to a F250, the price gap nearly closes. I looked at comparing trucks similar to mine and, after incentives, the price was about the same.

But I do just that: EcoB engine, HD Payload (includes LT tires, HD shocks and suspension) + Maxtow (1150# hitch) packages compared to F250.
Maybe it's just different in Ontario, Canada. The biggest Ford truck dealer in Ontario (Hanna Motors) has both F150 HD Payload and F250s on the lot.
Hanna F250
F150 EcoB HD Payload
About 8.4K Can$ difference, trucks with similar options, XLT model.
And I get similar results when using the Canadian web build app.
But of course the F250 is heavier duty rig with more payload (and worse mileage). And that's why you pay more.
Seems obvious to me.
