Why did you trade it? Was it doing poorly with the 27.5? Was it an HDPP truck?

It was a great truck - red 5.0 (I love that engine). My wife started growling about trading the Jay Feather on a fifth wheel for more room, better floorplan, etc., and I knew we'd need at least an f250. The Feather wagged the rear end of the f150 so more suspension was the way to go for me.

I bought the f350 because it was a 2017 left-over and was just what I wanted - crew cab, XLT, center console, snow-plow package, block heater, 8' bed. The only thing it was missing was the diesel engine but I only tow the trailer four or five times a year so I just couldn't justify paying $23,000 more for the same truck with the 6.7 (mine being a left-over they gave me $16,000 off the list). That's why I traded.
