Best New F350 Towing Configuration?

[EddieK82]

Hello,

I am going to bite the bullet and order a brand new F350 to tow our 320MKS. What towing configuration should I get with the new truck? I am going to order the Lariat 4x4. I'm not sure if I should go with the Diesel or the 7.3 gasser. What other options should I get for the best towing setup? What rear would be best, bed length, etc? Any help from the community would be great. I don't want to spend this kind of money and miss something that I should have done.

Thanks!

For ours we have a diesel, 3.55 rear end, Lariat package, plus the 15k payload package. I also recommend getting the full camera system, and the puck tow package.

X2 on the camera system. Awesome!! Especially the overhead plan view of the truck.

Very subjective. For me, DRW 6.7 diesel with 4.10 or 3.73 and puck package and bed camera. YMMV

Since the diesel comes with the 10speed transmission, get a taller rear end, 3.55 or so

(If you're gonna go diesel)

In addition to what others said...upfitter switches, never know if you want to add any extra gadgets or lights to the truck.

Love my new 7.3 gas engine. Tows like a beast and none of the common diesel problems or expenses !!

6.7L diesel Dually. 8' bed. 3.55 axle. Camera system. Puck system hitch. Tow package. Seriously look at a F450 for turning radius if you can find one to drive versus the F350.

The 7.3 will get the job done and better then your current 6.2 but a diesel will have more than twice the torque and at lower RPM's. I can't stop smiling everytime I tow with mine. The exhaust brake is a BIG plus especially if you tow in the mountains. Your fuel range is also higher as well as being able to use the truck lanes for fueling.

The reasons stated above is why have included and most likely will go the Diesel route. I was actually set on the 7.3 gasser but,,, I like the thought of better fuel mileage, huge torque and what seems to be a very effective jake brake. Plus the fact I will be going from coast to coast and from the south up to New Egland once a year. Just love the thought of not having to get into a traffic jam at the gas alley,,, Swing right in with the Big Boys in the Diesel lane. Already bringing back memories when I trucked around America in a Kw T-800 hauling everything and anything they would load up on my Skateboard. lol
