F150 to F250
Yea because a Superduty has WAY heavier frame, transmission, suspension, axles, brakes, etc. It’s just way more truck, so yea payload is reduced.
Which is why buying a 3/4 ton is kind of dumb if you want payload, just get a one ton.
It’s like buying a truck with half a bed.

Yep but your 1500 doesn't have a 1200 pound diesel engine to carry around. The 2019 F250's were saddled with the 10000 GVWR so that means the empty truck weighs 8032 pounds, quite a bit more than a half ton. I agree though, a diesel 3/4 ton is not a weight carrying monster lol.

I believe many go with 3/4 ton trucks due to various states regulations, laws, fees, insurance, etc from what i read over the last few years. Some states you pay on weight like New Jersey. My insurance rate was not drastically changed either when I went from 3/4 to 1 ton. If anything I was able to get more coverage for the same price. However, other states view 1 tons differently depending how they are classified by the state. I think the truck purchase will depend on your situation and requirements. I know when I replaced my F 250 with a F 350. I was going to just get another F 250. Then when I was looking at the prices on vehicles, a 350 was not out of the question and I would be more willing to upgrade my truck for next to nothing. At the time of purchase, I was not planning on getting a new trailer so soon. In hindsight, it would up being a good purchase.

My 150 had a payload of 1675 and the 250 has a payload of 2828. I could have gained another 700 to 800 payload by going to a 350, but this 250 put a check mark in all the boxes for me.
A near by dealer had a ‘19 350 in the wrong color and lacking several of the “doo dads” I wanted. So we did look at a 350, just not what we were looking for.

Made the maiden voyage with the 250 and quite impressed with the power and stability over the 150. I set the cruise control just above the speed limit and had no issues with the hills of East Tennessee.
