Hello all! I am new to this forum and looking to get some advice for towing my GDI 2800BH. I am currently towing with a 2016 F150 3.5EB and looking to upgrade to either F250SD or GMC 2500HD. Currently, I’m getting around 7.8 mpg on flat highway and about 3-5 mpg through the hills of Arkansas. Looking to travel cross country to CO, FL, KY, etc. My question is this: Which vehicle (F250 vs 2500) do you guys recommend? We tow every 5-6 weeks and it will be my daily driver as well. I’m a huge Ford fan but the price tags are outrageous for new!
Things I’ve noticed is that F250 has more tow capacity, torque, HP, etc. but not too much more than GMC.
Looking to see if y’all think Ford has the superior engine, less engine issues (with proper maintenance), and if it is overall a better vehicle or are they about the same as far as quality of build. Just wanting to know if even though Ford is more expensive, is it worth it? Will the engine last longer, etc.?
Any advice is greatly appreciated and hope everyone is having safe travels in their rigs!
