The F250s are great trucks, I have owned one and used 3 others at work. There is a big reason they make 1 tons, to tow big trailers. The basic 250 and 350 are not much different, that difference is towing/carrying weights. If you upgrade the springs and tires you have a 350. Likely at more cost than just buying the 350. I get a kick what people say they pull, here DOT E- trucks which are 3/4 or 1 tons come out to crash sites and move 80,000 lbs truck off the roadway with tow straps. I would not buy a used truck from them and their trucks are replaced every 2 years before they nearly worthless.
