Re: RC: F250 vs F350

["Alison Dunn" <alcritters@hotmail.com>]

There is an excellent site for ford super-duty trucks that has mountains of 
information. It is www.ford-diesel.com  (It has a section for gas trucks 
also.)
One of the things I learned on that list is that a F250 with the camper 
package and tow package is physically exactly the same as a 1 ton (single 
wheels on rear).  BUT, the legal weight carrying spec is about 1,000 pounds 
more for a F350 than a F250.  If you have a F250 with the above packages and 
a camper and trailer, it doesn't legally allow you much more than about 500 
pounds of stuff (with a diesel - diesel engines are heavier). Alot of people 
ended up buying trucks that legally really couldn't do what they wanted - 
they'd planned on hauling these huge goose-neck RV trailers and found out 
that they had to get much smaller ones to legally stay in spec.
