If this truck is going to be your primary daily driver, bonus points to the 150, especially if you are in urban areas.. but if you are getting a new truck so you can tow - and you are - the price jump is small and it's still a great daily driver, just a bit harder to park in the inner city. The 150 is an awesome platform, and getting better every year. It's doubtful I will ever buy another 1/2 ton truck unless I down grade to a popup or teardrop trailer, but if I did, it would be a 150 max tow / HD with the shortest gears I could get on it. You will not regret having more truck than you think you need right now. Take it from everyone here that has, is currently, or is wishing they had bought 'more truck' than they think they needed when they bought their last camper.
True! I wish I bought a 250 instead of the 150. Now I am adding small mods to help with towing & leaving more behind to cut down on weight.

My last F150 had the 3.5EB with max tow. My current 2015 F150 now has the 2.6EB and I don't really notice a difference except in gas mileage. I now get 20 around town and 22 on the highway. But even when I tow my little trailer it drops to 11.5! I have the 6 speed tranny.
