    very misleading....the biggest difference with the 350 is extra payload capacity (extra 1000+ pounds of payload depending on configuration). If you are loading up the truck with family, cargo, supplies, rack, etc, AND a heavy tongue weight (10-15% of trailer weight), you will need the extra payload capacity of the F-350 to stay below GVWR of the truck. And if you are towing at altitude, that screen you scrolled past says to derate your GVWR by 2% per 1000 feet. So at the end of the day with the F-350, for roughly $1,000 more you get 1,000 extra pounds of payload capacity to load up your truck without having to worry about hitting your GVWR. Seems like a no-brainer to me

    Mitchel, you missed the most important factor and you are kind of misleading; The most important factor in towing in my opinion is payload not towing capacity. Tongue weight of the trailer is a huge factor when deciding which type of truck you get. Yes the 250 can tow 20,000 lbs but with a 5th wheel you can run out of payload really quick. 5th wheels usually transfer around 18% of it's weight to the bed of the truck. I have an F-250 and it has 2,100 payload capacity. Theoretically it can tow 20,000 lbs, but with a 5th wheel of that size it will transfer about 3,600 lbs to the bed of the truck, exceeding my payload capacity by 1,500 lbs. This is the kind of information many RVers don't get when buying a truck and they run out of payload really quick, putting themselves and others at risk on the road.

    • @crewdawg2008

      @@PatRiot- It's more of a power restriction than a physical one. If you're towing or hauling at max capacity at sea level, then you're likely to be underpowered at high altitude with the same load. This is less an issue with boosted applications, however.

    Payload payload payload!!! That’s the difference between the F350 and the F250. Don’t buy an F250 because the trailer guide says it can tow your 20,000lb trailer. In reality you will be over your payload if you are anything close to the top end of the F250 guide. Make sure you are safe within your payload while towing you don’t want to be overloaded when you could have spent $1000 more and been legal. Confirm payload of a truck with the options you want before you decide on the truck you buy

    The trucks shown in the video when the guy said “springs are the same… no” actually do have identical springs because they are equipped with the Tremor package. All Super Duty Tremor trucks are mechanically identical regardless of being 250 or 350. Any super duty tremor has the 350 rear axle and spring package. If someone buys a 250 Tremor they may save money on registration fees in their state bc the truck has a derated payload on the sticker to match the 250 badge. Legally, the 250 has a lower payload, but mechanically any 250 and any 350 (equipped with the same options) are identical trucks.

    I have orders in for two '23 F250, one is a Lariat in Azure Gray Metallic, Baja Interior, with the sport package, locking differential, up fitters, marker lights, few other small add on. The other is an XLT in Antimatter Blue with the same features of the first but also the XLT premium/ultimate package required with the sport package, both in 7.3L. I'm leaning toward the XLT, for a savings of $5200, but I do like the Baja Interior that only comes in the Lariat as it lightens up the cab. One will only become a confirmed order once the dealership is given the heads up notice for scheduling for build to see if there are any last minute changes in add ons or the customer no longer wants it. I lost my '17 Super Duty in a black ice accident & am without a work rig now. My dealer doesn't have any news on when they would even be scheduled. By chance do you have any news in the wind as to how the Super Duty's are progressing off the assembly line?

    I generally use this as a rule of thumb, if your trailer at full capacity is 14,000lbs and over, especially on a box trailer as in camper or car hauler then im going with a dually because of the stability factor and safety factor. Ive had people disgree with me PREFUSELY, but if its my money, my family and my equipment then my decision is a dually. Anything less than than 14k then I'll go with a 350 SRW. I personally dont recommend a 250 to anyone. If im going to pay the same price between a 250 and 350 srw regardless of trim, then I'm getting the 350. Why would i pay the same price for less capability. I live down the street from a HUGE campground and every weekend I see these HUGE gooseneck and 5th wheel campers being pulled by 250s and 2500s and it scares the hell out of me because you can clearly see it can't handle it. To each their own. We all buy what we think is best for us based on what we feel is needed, of course money and availability of a product but I have my opinions on what I believe I need. I'm not always agreed with, I'm ok with that, I'm not buying it for anyone else and I'm not spending anyone else's money so they need not complain about my needs. I've been towing trailers for 40yrs and I've had plenty of negative experiences with the wrong vehicle.

Wouldn’t bother trying anything that needed towing over distance, up hills etc. numbers on a paper with ratings are great for selling a truck, the real world don’t care what the manufacturers numbers say.

    Well if you actually tow anything like I do payload kinda matters, lol. Now if you just want a raised super duty to drive around town no need for 350. This is why you NEVER listen to dealer for towing numbers and specs. Most simply don’t know.

    i just looked at a 2024 F250 diesel KR with high capacity axle package and its GVWR was only 400 less than my 2021 F350 diesel platinum . the payload was only 200 less than mine. With those numbers shouldn't the springs on the 250 be the same as my older 350? since 2021 ford has really increased the payload numbers. GVWR on my 350 is 11,500 and the new 250 is 11,100. i looked and same number of springs and they looked about the same thickness.

    There’s more to consider between a Super Duty and a F150. I pull several times a year between Wyoming and Texas, and have friends that have come to visit too. A F150 pulling the mountain passes really struggles and can get hot even with a trailer properly weighted. It’s a non event with a diesel Super Duty! I pulled a 17,000lb 5th wheel at 75 with zero issues in my 2022 SRW F350. Friends struggled with a 7500lb trailer and their F150.

    I appreciate your point of view here. But your thoughts are skewed a bit towards the diesels. For those of us who would prefer not to drive a dually and really don't want the high maintenance cost of a diesel, the F350 7.3 4.30 SRW with 18" AT tires provides max payload. I have this rig in a 2022 and it does a GREAT job pulling my 16,500 fifth wheel without blowing payload, GAWR, or GCWR. My only request to Ford would be to give me a turbo 7.3 so I don't have to get the 4.30 rear end and I can get better gas mileage when not pulling! The 7.3 rocks!

      You really should consider the dually with that size camper. You are going to have close to , or over, 2000lb pin weight with all your stuff in the camper. Pulling a camper that big is a non event in an F350 dually with a 6.7 Powerstroke. Very stable.

      The only one that can is a 2023+ F450 regular cab XL trim 2wd with the high output engine and the gooseneck max. tow package (GCWR is 48,000 on this configuration). Even with all this, the only way to get there is with exactly 15% ball weight with a gooseneck trailer. They had to drop the spare tire and almost everything else to get to that 40,000 lb number and a fifth wheel hitch would put you over payload.

  • @gregoricolomine8739
    @gregoricolomine8739 Před rokem

    As others have said, the point here is misleading. The payload capacity runs out really quick with a 5th wheel or with a standard trailer with lots of stuff in the bed + passengers. Also, in the Tremor configuration the F250 loses a lot of that payload thus you will be be push to go F350 in the Tremor spec to compensate for that loss. Lastly, even if the '22 and '23 are comparable (which they are), planned obsolesce is the point; why buy a soon to be discontinued model at almost the same price of a new design. Unless the dealership gives you a huge discount, you will see yourself throwing at least $5k out on top of the $5-10k you throw driving out of the lot with a new car.

    Maybe for you people in the lower 48 the 250 is OK. However, up here in Alaska due to the permafrost heaves in our highways, in spite of the AMAZING efforts of AKDOT Who do a STELLAR job given the climate we live in up here in Alaska, there is no denying Alaska and it’s roads simply chews up and spits out smaller cheaper made trucks like a coastal brown bear eating a squirrel for a snack! I grew up driving FORD. I had to switch to Chevrolet/GMC due to severe spinal injuries in the military during the global war on terrorism. Unfortunately, the independent front suspension of the GM just isn’t up to Alaska. It’s fine for the lower 48 and I’ve been happy with both brands!! Dodge/RAM in coastal Alaska is known as RUSTS ALWAYS MOTORS! You constantly see people who purchase brand new 80-90,000+ thousand dollar top-of-the-line DODGE/RAM with a BRAND NEW Cummins turbo diesel pick up who moved to Alaska shortly after purchasing their truck, or some lost souls who actually purchased them up here and plan to live in coastal Alaska, and their trucks immediately begin to rust completely through their bumpers and wheel wells in less than nine months! The Ford F350 is simply the best most durable truck for Alaska! F350’s without question, outlast and outperform the F250 due to their heavier, beefier suspension and frame. If you have the money and you are willing to keep spending to keep replacing your upper and lower ball joints as well as keeping your alignment, constantly realigned in between upper and lower ball joints. Then GM’s do fine in Alaska for wealthy people. I’ve purchased and owned two Chevrolets, two GMC’s, and I am back with two F 350 Ford’s. One has the Tremor package the other has the FX four package so I can carry heavier loads but it doesn’t ride as nicely on Alaskan roads as the Tremor. The Duramax and the body and frame and rear end of the GM does just fine unfortunately, since they don’t have a solid front axle, you’re constantly paying out their nose to keep them aligned and fix their front ends. I’ve been in Alaska since the military ordered me up here in 2007. I won’t even waste my money on a half ton!

    I have to admit I really liked some of your videos till this one. This unfortunately shows ignorance almost to the point of negligence many of the Super Duty dealers I've talked too share. Just add a minute to show the payload stickers on those trucks and talk about how payload is the sum difference of many of those numbers/acronyms you blazed through. Towing capacity is rarely the true limiter of a truck. Dealers are putting people on the road thinking those towing capacity numbers are the most important point, and sure if they read through everything they might figure it out. But why not take the time to put out a video that doesn't make that mistake. This one isn't just ignorant it goes further to try and say that the key difference driver which is payload isn't a big deal. You put a lot of people or dogs and people in that big nice crew cab, throw a good full set of tools and maybe bikes on the back, then hook up your trailer and you could be in a real bad spot if you aren't bringing big payload numbers. Sure the DRW maxes that but a lot of people don't want those extra inches taken out of their clearance at every drive through window and tight in town turn. Sure you say put all kinds of disclaimers out there about if your towing a lot, etc. etc. The problem will be the one person who buys this truck that doesn't tow a lot and doesn't understand it. Then one day they hook up a load that needed that extra payload and they don't have it. They get in a wreck or incur some other issues and now their warranty is voided, their insurance is void; and even worse someone might be hurt.
