UPGRADED TO AN f250

I finally upgraded my TV to a 2015 Ford F-250. Should pull trailer easier. Also upgraded to an Equalizer to distribute some more weight. Will see how it goes this weekend.

What are you pulling?
I would love to upgrade once the budget allows.

Me Too

I have been towing with an F150 for 11 years and it did a fine job on short trips and flat surfaces, I know the new F150's can tow more but the pricing is so high on the F150's the F250 seemed like a better buy and fewer available so it also seems they hold their value better. I went overkill and splurged on the Diesel since I tow both a travel trailer and occasionally an enclosed car hauler with car. Just got it a month ago so not had a chance to tow yet but have a 2000 mile trip planned later this year.

I tow a 2010 Laredo 291TG, or a 2015 US Cargo 24' Car Hauler.

TV- 2016 F250 Ruby Red/Brown Two Tone Lariat, short bed, 4x4, 6.7 Powerstroke proudly made here in Louisville KY.

I hope you enjoy your F250, so far I love mine and am looking forward to towing.

Love my 250 Ford diesel. Just got back from Florida and it pulled the same with or without the trailer. Truck is an amazing performer put 8000 km on it in 3 weeks. Pulling a cougar 26SAb Amazing going up the mountains in West Virginia in 5th gear

Skittles: Congratulations on your choice of TV. We have a 2015 F250 Diesel CC with a short bed. We tow a 36' Cougar TT (30RLI) and it tows the TT with ease. I also have a Equalizer hitch which I think is the best hitch on the market. We had Titan Fuel Tanks replace the 26 gallon fuel tank with a 50 gallon so now I don't have to be always looking for fuel stops. Have fun towing !!!!

Yeah that little tank is kind of a hindrance I don't know why Ford didn't build a larger tank. Even with the DEF tank, a shortbed has room for a considerably larger tank. I have a longbed with 37 gal so I'm leaving it stock, but with a shorty I'd have done a tank swap right away.
