For the same price you could have bought a brand new 6.7L diesel F250 loaded up. The Platinum series commands a serious price jump. Add max tow and it's even higher. Not sure that max tow worked it's life as a heavy tow rig is going to last very long. But for those that don't like diesel, the rig you just bought is dang sweet. A guy at my work just bought one also.

Ya your probably right but its the same reason I bought a Toyota tundra. Not a diesel person and don't plan on it.

Beautiful truck!
I've got a 2012 F150 Lariat - regular tow package. I do not have the navigation nor sunroof, but I believe everything else - 2 wheel drive. My payload capacity is 1508 not much lighter than your max tow. I'm considering purchasing a 2013 or 2014 (when available) F150 Lariat max tow with all the goodies, but it may not increase my payload capacity. I may have to order the larger truck bed to get the hd package.
Like you, the 250 may be a bit costly as it would also be my daily driver. My commute is 70 miles round trip per day.
Decisions, decisions!!!!
Congratulations on the truck....she's a beauty!

Beautiful truck, love the Ruby Red. My local Ford dealer is trying to locate a Max Tow Ecoboost. My 2010 was totaled two days ago by a young man who ran a red light and tried to drive through my truck. We have a 10 week trip planned beginning July 7th so I hope we are not delayed too long.

Had an F-150 with the same set-up. To many problems with the EcoBoost in the hot humid weather. Sold it,
and got F250 Turbo diesel 400HP, 800 Ft lbs of torque. This thing will pull a house.

I was going to get a F250, but I thought the ride was too rough.
Opted for the F150 with Ecoboost and max-tow.
I don't regret it one bit.

Great comment. Guy probably loves his truck and doesn't want a diesel.

I have very similar truck in south Florida, it doesn't get much hotter and more humid than here. Mine runs great and pulls my 8,000 pounds effortlessly. Have over 11,000 miles towing without a problem.
Enjoy the truck!
