New F250 is aluminum bodied too. May want to wait before considering it. Being that some of the '15 haulers are having some substantial stability issues.

I noticed that those stock tires on these vehicles have soft side walls as compared to my old 2004 w load range E tires. I have a suspicion that if you were to put real truck tires on these vehicles, they would not feel so squirmy. Just my two cents ( let me get some miles on the new truck to find out, besides I have a set of e rated tires going on my new ride)

Was my experience back in 2011 that LT-E tires and a stiffened suspension were necessary for these trucks to tow/haul at their max loads without much wobble. Dunno if 2015s are that much different. Maybe they've softened the suspension even more.

Anyway, it was fixable back in 2011: LT-E tires, stiffer shocks, and an extra leaf or timbrens or RAS or whatever. No problems now.
