Fun fact: Mike Tyson claimed his first true love he felt was for a pidgeon.

I wouldn't say its significant, couple of inches at best..there the same back seats, in the SD they got under seat lockable storage bins,,real nice for the tools/jumper cable and odds/ends you might need,, the F150 has the flat floor, unless you got the subwoofer on one side. Both are comfy backseats, F250 has more than enough room for adults and kids..

Ironically, I own a 2011 F-250 crewcab and I'm considering trading it in on a F-150 supercrew with the ecoboost. I like the truck, but the ride is really rough with it having the plow package and camper package on it. It has good power but with 35s on it I'm down to 10 mpg, mostly city driving. Since you had an ecoboost, how does it compare to the 6.2L? What do you like better about the Super Duty?

The EB doesn't tow any better than the F250 as far as mileage is concerned. If you leave your F150 stock it will be a smoother ride. If you mod with lift/35's then I don't think your gonna get any better ride. I got the snow plow on my F250 and it has softened up as I break her in, still jarring if you hit the right pothole/road bump..I like the EB and the 6.2L both will get the job done..

Grats on the new truck. I just did the opposite. F-250 down to an F-150 Eco. F-250 was just too much to put up with as a DD. No regrets so far...

As stated earlier, the 150 has more back seat room. Maybe 3 inches or so more. As far as the EB vs 6.2L. Driving around, the EB is noticeably faster. I know part of it is the extra weight of the 250, but the 6.2 also doesn't make the power of the EB. I have nothing bad at all to say about the 150's. I just have a thing for the SD's. Had a 2003 F250 that I traded in 2008. Regretted it ever since. Personal preference really. But you wont regret getting an EB.

Exactly. Rise is much harsher in the f250. But it hauls and tows better because of its design. F150 feels like a ford ranger compared to,the 250. Both nice trucks just different.

Enjoy that 6.2 sound.
