Hopefully you'll get your order in a timely manner and have many years of problem free travels. Post pics when the day comes that it has arrived.

Welcome to the site.

Thanks. I was thinking G.O.A.T. and was wondering why this guy was talking about moving up from an F-150 to an F-250.

Only reason not to get a 350 is HOA, taxes or registration issues.

Unknown if that is an issue where OP lives.

i just got a f250 2023 7.3l about 2 months ago and i am loving it except as one might think the fuel mileage is not as good as the f150 but tows my trailer so much better. i got the 4x4 with 3.73 gears and it will pull 17k according to ford hell i hardley even notice the trailer behind me now. headed to west virginia in a couple of weeks and will see how it does over the fancy gap on i77.now mine is only a xlt short bed, so it only has the 34 gal tank

Cancel the order and get a 350 for roughly 600-700 more. You will love the sticker on the door jam compared to the 250.
The 350 comes standard with the e locker. Which is a $400 and change option on the 250

And, it will cost way more than that next year, when you decide to go bigger and have to trade in on the F-350 that you now need.
