Has anyone with a 2015 loaded F150 switched to a 2015 loaded F250 6.7L? If so, just wondering your thoughts? I know there are lots of factors comparing the two. But just wondering in general if giving up some of the F150 options / amenities was worth to some, driving the larger diesel F250 towing aside...

Thanks!

Unless you absolutely need the diesel for pulling, there is literally nothing about an F250 that's better than the F150.

It's crazy how the line between F150 and Super Duty has diminished throughout the years. I mean just look at the styling as an example.

I just downsized from a 2013 F250 King Ranch with the 6.7l to a 2015 F150 King Ranch on Thursday. As far as technology, safety, and amenities goes, the F150 blows it out of the water. My 13' F250 was loaded and they haven't changed anything in it besides gen 2 6.7 and new KR leather.

Like HCFX2013 said, unless you need the power, I would go with the F150.

Thanks. Did you feel like somehow the resale value on the F250D was much better? Or just even that it would last longer?

I traded it in because I had a ton of issues with it. I bought in 2013 for 58k and traded it in this week for 44k. With all of it's issues, I didn't feel comfortable selling it to a private party.

However, I feel that 44k was a fair trade in amount as KBB put it between 43k-46k.

Even if you don't need the diesel , the superduty is a better platform for towing. Bigger payload, better transmission, better long term durability in heavy duty applications, better towing stability. No warping dashes and misaligned panels. If you want to open your tailgate with a trailer hooked... Sure applications cross, but if you tow , the Superduty is a better choice. If you need a gilrlie truck , well......

Was in the same boat as you are my friend, but the dealer begged me to go test out a new f150 (I went in there to purchase a KR 250 6.7) and I sat in that seat before we drove it and I knew then I was leaving the lot with that truck! Love it to death much recommend the f150 over the 250

There's something about the SD I love. It feels more like a real truck to me. Which I'm sure sounds strange to some. But the reality...I don't do much towing. So from a practicality standpoint...The F150 probably makes more sense. Did you mean girlie? Oh boy...You might be right.

Yep...I did things a little backwards I guess. I bought my F150 Plat a little bit ago. Lots of things I love about it...It so nice and comfortable. But...I drove a friends new F250D and loved the sound of the diesel, the firmness of the ride, etc. It just got me thinking about the longevity of both trucks, the resale value down the road, and just had me reconsidering my decision.

Thanks!

What kind of tires and size are these? I'm not much on red trucks but your truck looks great.
