Now see, that's exactly where I'm going with this. I sold my Harley this spring and have been considering something to replace it. It just so happens, there is one of that something near my next camping trip. And, I just so happen to have an empty spot in my toy hauler garage to bring it home in...

Now to get the general's approval...

I second that. Thanks for taking time out of your once in a life time experience to share with us Josh! This is what, to me, makes FTE so great.

Great pictures. Someone mentioned it earlier... all these colors seem to pop more. Are we seeing things, or has Ford done something with the paint? Maybe its the aluminum?

Thanks Josh. How about tailgate height too... Looks like exactly 1/2" taller than the 250 you measured earlier.

I see the GN rating is higher there than on the long bed...

Thanks Josh. Great pics. Looking above at the 350 list...since when is a jack an option? Don't they come with a spare and jack standard?

It seems like the 350 SRW numbers are quite a bit higher than the 250 SRW. With a base cost increase of only about $1100 I'm starting to think I should go with a 350.

Don't forget Tim, the numbers Josh has posted so far are 250's without the HD Tow pkg. But yes, for the money, the 350 is the best bet for a lot of folks.

Josh...maybe i'm seeing things...but...it looks like the height of the 250 KR non HD tow was slightly higher at the bumper step measurement than the 350 Ruby Red Platinum?? Looks like to me the 250 is right on the 27 mark and 350 is 26 3/4. Maybe just the ground i'm sure. These pics are awesome !

I can't imagine a single reason to go with the F250. Not one.

What is the difference between the two F-350's that the towing is so different. VIN's 262 and 263
