Thanks for the reply Flash! Actually, I was initially considering an F250, but then I looked at an F150 with the 7700lb payload package. I'm told that it has the same 4R100 tranny as the F250, a HD frame, coils/springs/shocks, axles, bigger brakes and 7-lug wheels.

So, I thought that as long as I stuck with the 7700lb payload package, I should be happy towing with it. Someone told me that this package was sold in a truck called the F250 light duty. I never herd of that before.

I will be towing a boat mainly during the summer months only. Not quite every weekend, but when I do, I surely want to be comfortable doing so. Like you say, the F250 will probably leave me more breathing room so that still might be the way to go. Plus, I love the look of the 250.

Thanks Again,
