Indeed my friend, indeed! ''Maximum capacity'' does not mean ''regular capacity'' I'd say 5000lbs max would be a comfortable towing capacity on a regular basis, but over this, you start feeling the damn thing on your tong too much.

Nice looking truck! Some big $$$ here.

I just traded in my 04 F150 on a '15 F250 two weeks ago. I prefer an 8' bed and they are hard to find on an F150 unless you go new which was more than I wanted to spend.
It's an XL gasser w/ 3.73. It was at a dealer 3hrs away so the trip home gave me a good chance to drive it. The first thing I noticed is the seats are WAY more comfy than my old F150. Suspension is stiffer but comfortable. (It does have Bilsteins on all 4 corners though) 3400# payload, tow package, 4X4.

All in all I like it alot.

Pretty sure all F250's have 'tow package', tho it isn't listed as such because it is just already included. That's what the Superduties are for. Towing and hauling.

Stiffer? F250s are aweful if you want my opinion. Couldn't even drink a cold one in our way to our hunting / fishing spot, it was spilling everywhere.

Well, it is pretty rough over train track and potholes. It's firm but comfortable in town and on the highway.
I haven't had it off road but imagine I'd be spilling drinks all over too.

They offer a camper package that does specifically say it rides rougher when unloaded.

Something glad that effect right on the Ford site itself.

Yeah, they give that rough ride warning for the camper package and snowplow package.

Beautiful truck, but now you'll have to stick to the Superduty threads. They're not half as cool over there.
