I will be towing and hauling on a limited basis and would probably be going overboard with even an F250. I simply want a truck that screams truck every time I start it, look at it, or even think about it.

Since my original post I have test driven both the F250 and F350. I also test drove both of them as PSD and as V10 and prefered the F350 V10. With all other options being pretty much the same- I thought the stiffer ride had less sway in it. The steering on the F250 seemed loose and less controlable than on the F350. While the ride was certainly stiffer I prefered it-- I guess it reminded me of some of the FL60's and FL70's I have driven for work delivering produce. The F350 seemed to have more of a "truck" feel to it. I prefered the V10 because I won't be hauling or pulling a whole heck of a lot and I want a something that is quick from a start-- gas mileage be damned!
