I purchased my new 2016 F250 Lariat for about the same price as a F150 Lariat would cost. Maybe a little less for the options I got on it as compared to the F150.

Is this about what you guys are seeing in your areas in regards to pricing for F250 Lariats?

If you are seeing same pricing why are 250 about same as 150s?

 

Yes, because demand for the F150 is so high and for the 250 is relatively low, you can buy more truck for less money.
People buy F150's because they want a truck that is stylish and handy. They buy 250's because they need a truck that can haul some weight. There are a lot more of the former than the latter.

 

When I bought my 250 a few weeks ago, I was told the f250 was going to receive a substantial mark up next year with the aluminum body. Much like the f150 for 2015. I started off looking at f150s and found I could get a comparable 6.2 f250 cheaper.

I work here at Alcoa Tennessee operations, and we are producing the aluminum coils for the f250/350. Alcoa and ford, have invested mega bucks into getting this done over the past few years, it's got to be paid for somehow.

 

Rebates for the SD trucks are also better than for the Lariat F150s, so that helps balance them out.

 

The prices of the loaded out half tons are ridiculous and its not just ford. Used or new. No way I'm paying more for a 150 than a 250/350....really?!? But my superduty is gas, two wheel drive and XL. So that right there got me in the building.
