F250 or F350 SRW

So i ordered a F250, But wondered if i should have bought an F350 srw. any of you have buyers remorse and wished for the larger truck? How does the F350 ride compared to the 250. My dealer didn't have anynew f350. I do own an old f350 drw. . . i hate driving it with no load.

There's almost no difference between the F250 and F350 SRW.

The 350 has larger blocks in the rear suspension, an overload spring that's optional on F250s, and a higher GVWR. Order the F250 with the camper package and you also get the same overload spring.

My 2011 F350 SRW rides smoother than my 2008 F250 did, as there's no increase in springrate until the overload hits the stops. If you were still shopping I'd say get the 350, but since you already ordered you'll be plenty happy with your F250. If the rear sags a bit install some airbags and call it good.

I sag 2 1/2 inches for around a 6,500 lbs tow.
To be honest, the only way I know it's there is to stand outside the truck and look.
No interstate towing though so I currently don't have any worries.
I'll install airbags if it starts to bother me.
