New TV ready for next trip

Traded in the 2014 f150 5.0 for a gasser 2015 f250 6.7 4x4 long bed. We are towing a 267bhsw. The f150 was at its limit and we had to be very careful what and how we packed. Looking forward to putting some miles on this one.

yup was a good find. got it for 7k under bluebook with low mileage. basically traded in a 2014 f150 with the exact same trim and upgrades for the 2015 f250 and didn't put anything down and only slightly increased my monthly by 20 bucks.

we'll see how she like heading into the mountains in a few months we'll be taking the 267BHSW into the sequoias. the f150 did it but she wasnt happy.

Traded my F150 for a 250 6.2 gasser as well. I miss the comfortable ride of the 150 but love the way this truck handles the weight of my trailer so much better.

Yup lol I agree the ride was so much nicer with my f150 but I don't even notice the tt behind the f250. Tradeoffs lol.

heading out to a short trip to joshua tree next weekend. there is a very steep incline heading up to the northern part of the park through the big morongo valley. the f150 did it but struggled, I want to see how this rig handles it. looking forward to it!
