He will get better than what you stated especially if he is towing, considering the F-150 is a dog on fuel when towing. The big fail for me is NO adaptive cruise control.

I love the Superduty look though!

OPs truck appears to be gas 6.2l not the diesel.

As a perpetual "should I have bought a 250?" F-150 owner who tows a camper a few times a year, I am VERY curious to hear your opinion between the two as an every day driver. MPG, ride quality, etc.

I personally would never upsize to a gas motor because the hit in fuel economy is tremendous (on paper) so I'm really curious to hear your thoughts.

None the less they made me one of those so call Godfather deals so I just traded it and the 2016 F-150 that I just bought last October in on this fantastic F250 Platinum. It's got a power open tailgate, 5 or 6 cameras, collision avoidance system along with of course all the other typical toys and accessories. It's going to take me a month just to figure out how everything works. The massaging seats are pretty cool too. I bought a new 2017 Tracker Pro Team 195 TXW Tournament Edition bass boat. The 2016 F150 XL did a decent job pulling it up the boat ramp with the 3.5 engine but not like this baby here will. This is one fantastic truck in my opinion.

Coming out of the water up the ramp with the boat attached you'll probably look back to make sure it's still hooked up. Compared to the 150 your new truck will make it seem like it's not even there.

Going to miss the Shelby?
