Ok, my immediate needs will be:

1. "Daily driving" around San Diego, which is mostly freeway.
2. Getting a trailer of some sort to tow a 1k pound Harley and/or a 600 pound Harley.

Would like to get an RV in the future, but nothing definite yet.

 

OK - Just my $.02

An F-150 is fine as a daily driver and pulling a trailer of that size. You'll barely even know it's back there. I was pulling a 7200 lb., 30 ft. travel trailer with my 2006 F-150 4x4. It did the job, but the engine struggled. Typically, I would be doing 3000 RPM at highway speeds and getting 6-7 mpg. I just took my travel trailer out today to test the towing and set up the brake controller. I was cruising between 1500-1800 RPM and getting 16 mpg in tow/haul mode. This 6.7 diesel is a dream come true. But if you are only towing motorcycles, an F-150 is all you need. Most cars will pull that load.

 

Hey im about to deploy and looking at differnent trucks.. Have about 30k saved up before deployment and buying myself a toy when i come home..

Choices are f150 ecoboost, raptor, f250 KR superduty.

Ive already priced out the f150's but curious how much off msrp i can get an f250 as military and if i go through the usaa bank? Fully loaded KR by the way

 

The USAA website told me to expect $5500 off including incentives. Most dealers that contacted me were in the $9K off range. I ended up getting $10K off in the end. This was on a Lariat. KR may be a little different. They sell well, but don't move off the lot as fast as Lariats due to the price tag. The dealership in Houston that I was at had a KR for $12.5 off sticker (including incentives). I think military gets you another $500 off. But to get these incentives, you have to finance through FMCC. Just sign up, make one payment, then refinance through USAA at a lower rate.

Stay safe on your deployment and thanks for your service!

 

The 2x4 King Ranch Crew Cab F-250 6.7L PSD I priced out came to $50,150.00 and that's about $10k less than the sticker prices I've seen on local dealership websites. I think it's a good deal.
