This is my first Ford and I am a happy camper. However I had two different Cummins trucks that I was also very happy with. However, coming from a 2003 Ram Cummins, my current F150 doesn't feel as planted towing. I get more sway and overall I just don't feel as confident towing. The Cummins always felt stable. You could pull a 7000 lb enclosed trailer in the wind at 85 MPH and it felt great. The F150 hates the wind I just get more sway with the same trailers. The power is outstanding and I'm extremely happy with the Ecoboost motor. Also, my Cummins did not sag so bad when putting dirt bikes or snowmobiles in the back or while towing. I bought the air bags to fix that, but when you look at actual payload numbers, my 1200 lb payload for my 7200 GVW truck is a little light. I go over the payload with 3 bikes. Even if I had the 7650 lb GVW I would be pushing it. Basically I would much prefer a SuperDuty F250 with the Ecoboost motor. But since that's not available I'm looking at another Cummins. Sorry, but I don't have a lot of faith in the Powerstroke. Love the Duramax but I just don't like the GM truck around it. I find the new body style GM trucks just ugly. Hate the square wheel wells. I tow enclosed 5000-7000 lb snowmobile trailers about 15-20% of the miles that are on my truck. I would say another 60-70% of my miles are with 1-3 dirt bikes in back. Basically my truck is a toy hauler. So towing stability and payload ratings are really the only reason I'm looking at getting back into another Cummins. To sum it up I'm wondering what you guys think the weight loss will do for the towing stability. Simple laws of physics tell me its going to be worse, but maybe chassis refinement can make up for 700 lbs? Obviously the 1500-2000 lb weight difference combined with the heavier duty suspension really makes a big difference in how a truck pulls a trailer. Gotta wonder how much is the weight and how much is the suspension though. But, I'm also curious if you guys think Ford will keep its current GVWs and GCWRs, therefore increasing payloads and tow ratings by 700 lbs? If so that would satisfy my payload needs. Anyone have an idea when Ford is going to release specs? My lease is up on my F150 in October and I am at this point thinking of putting in an order for a new Ram 2500 or 3500. However I am really thinking about the 2015 F150 as well.

I'm going to get 2014 XLT but going to keep the 250LD. I need something to keep my '89 fullsize bronco company. All three ordered from factory.
