Much Thanks!
A little while back I requested help deciding on the F150 w/max tow package vs F250.
I decided on the 250! Although the 2409s is in winter storage, the engine will be broken and in and she’ll be ready for towing in the spring!
Thanks!

6.2 gas. Plenty of truck for what I have and enough if we decide to upgrade a bit.
The market is crazy right now. The difference between new and used with 20k was only $2000. I just lucked out in finding one, around here the 250 supply is limited.

Nice truck, and nice color. I think I have one just like it! It is a great truck, and you will really enjoy the way it pulls your trailer. Congratulations!

The market on F-250's is crazy everywhere. Ford just isn't moving off their sticker.
Some Dealers say it's supply and demand. It isn't.
The fact is, there just isn't any room to move. If they used the old price structure, the sticker on those things would be 8,000 to 9,000 dollars higher. Which would frighten off most buyers.
The F-250 is an expensive truck to make. Great truck. And I like the 6.2L gasser a lot. Good engine.
Hope you like it because you're probably going to have it for 20 years unless you get tired of looking at it.

Nice truck - hopefully you mean the engine will be broke-in, not broken!

That's exactly what I read!  Never hope for a new truck to break!
Nice looking truck. I've been very happy with my 1st gen 6.2 towing a 7500lbs loaded trailer. Safe travels.

Just bought the 6.2 liter gas F250. Did you set yours up for towing? I will need a receiver reducer 2.5 x 2.0. My trailer is about 7600 lbs. looking for recommendations.

They should have given you one. I bet if you look around in some storage compartment somewhere, you'll find it. And a bunch of other stuff along with it. Wiring, etc
