would an f250 4x4 run better or worse than an f150 4x4 in snow?

You're just buying a bigger framed truck. Heavier and stronger that's all.

Been there and done that with both F-250 Diesel and a couple of F-150's. Absolutely no comparison, the F-150's did better. Lighter and better balanced. The F-250 is a very heavy truck, especially on the front end. Snow or mud......doesn't matter, it sinks a lot more and the rear end breaks traction very easily. I can go places in 2WD with the F-150 that I needed 4WD with the F-250.

no matter what truck you have, it's very easy to over drive the conditions. just be cautious and give yourself extra time. both do fine in the winter up here. hell, I drove a rear wheel drive monte carlo for years up here in MN. never a problem, as long as I was prepared and took my time
