Home and Auto F250 vs F350 - Page 2

**BigRichard** · 04-23-2023, 02:01 PM

Been looking at used F250's to help with my business and more importantly pull a 5th wheel camper(when I buy it) eventually down the road. I have been looking at 2019s and the towing for a fully loaded truck is a bit underwhelming for me. I looked at some f350s but I always thought they rode so much rougher. But the information I am finding says that the "beefier" pieces on the newer f350s aren't the parts that control the ride so the f250 and the f350 ride virtually the same. Anyone have any experience with this? It just seems that if the f350 and f250 ride the same and there isn't that much cost difference I would see a lot more f350s on the road vs f250s and that definitely doesn't seem to be the case.

If they ride the same, why buy an f250 over f350? They have the same engine and tranny, look the same, supposedly drive the same and the cost difference is fairly negligible.

I have a F250 and it’s a beast. Basically F350 is another leaf spring and minor suspension. Save the money unless you are towing a cement truck.

I just went from an F-250 to an F-350. The 350 rides noticeably rougher.

Agreed, I drive my silverado 1500 most times as it turns easier and is vastly more comfortable.

Used to be my favorite truck.

Sad that the jib rules every facet of your life.

I'd get the 650. I mean why not.

How many phone books do you sit on to see over the steering wheel?

I believe a lot of the fully loaded(options) f250s only have a max 5th wheel towing of between 14-15k. I am thinking I was going to get a toy hauler which a lot of them weight 10-12k plus my UTV is another 2k+. I am possibly already maxxing this thing out and I haven't even started putting gear or anything else in it.

I know the 2wd can tow considerably more but I was looking and couldn't find a fully loaded truck that wasn't 4wd. I am not even sure it is an option.

What year though? Supposedly the newer ones are supposed to ride exactly the same... supposedly.

I sale new Fords at a dealership in Idaho. I don't think you'll ever tell a difference as far as ride quality goes. Or anything else for that matter. The F250 is kinda becoming a thing of the past. The whole "1 ton rides a lot rougher than a 3/4 ton" is basically a thing of the past.

Would you say the 2019 year falls into this category? Or how new we talking?
