The truck isn't for everyone, but I have been pleased with mine. I bought it in late April. It is a diesel XD in SL trim, crew cab 4x4. I got 16k off the sticker before factoring in the equity of my trade.
I have 12k miles on it, with about 3500 of those miles towing my 7500lb travel trailer. Coming from a half ton it is much more stable. The truck was fairly sluggish when brand new but started to come alive around 6-7000 miles. I now get 12 mpg towing, combined around 16-17 mpg, and have even achieved 25.1 on all highway. The payload is the only disappointment for me, so, mine would not work for almost any fifth wheels.
I was surprised to see my neighbors 2016 F250 diesel only has about 1900 lbs payload according to his door sticker, but I understand there is a reason for the adjusted payload rating.
