I agree. This truck makes me feel more...uh.. relivant... when driving. Kinda puts the fear of god into people who normally would cut me off in my Lexus(s).

I was actually considering getting the F350 SRW equipt the same. I don't do any major towing and it would have only been to have the higher model. I found out that the only difference is an additional leaf spring and it's slightly heavier. I opted for the F250 because I thought the F350 would be overkill for anything I would do with it, plus it has a slightly harsher ride.

It only costs about $1000 more though.

very nice, about same setup I was looking at for a better tow rig

the 350 will ride rougher and if your not towing heavy on tounge or goose neck its not worth the extra money or ride comfort

congrats!

Awsome truck! Always loved the f-250s, especially the lifted ones. But for now, my 04 tundra will do just fine.

The truck is awesome. My coworker has the same but the King Ranch edition. Those trucks are huge! But I must say, they seem a bit out of place in Silicon Valley, where every other car is a Prius.
