2012 F150 or 2008 F250 for towing???
Hi All
New to this site. Have a question for you...
I am looking at a work truck and have 2 options... The first is a 2008 F250 crew King Ranch gas and the other is a 2012 F150 Lariat crew gas
so the dealer tells me that the F150 is rated to tow 10,000 pounds - has the max trailer package and air bags installed. I will be using the truck to pull a 7 ton dump trailer approx. once a month over the course of the year.
Both trucks have around 210,000 km on them
Which is better???
Appreciate the input!

If the F150 is an ecobeast, I'd recommend it over the F250. For the other 353 days of the year, the 150 is going to be more comfortable to drive. It also already has airbags to compensate for any sag that might occur when hitched up. My 2012 F250 sagged much worse under the same load than my 2006 F150 did (until I installed bags on the 250).
There are other variables that would affect my choice that aren't mentioned, like 4wd vs. 2wd for example.
But given what you've described, I wouldn't dismiss the F150 out of hand.
