Super helpful, thanks! Which truck did you prefer when you weren't towing? The F150s seem huge to me, and don't seem to have a lot of ground clearance. Granted, I'm not in 4-low very often, but I do like to get off the beaten path. A 2015+ F150 is going to be more money than I'll want to spend. Have they fixed the condensation issues with the ecoboosts?
F150's may seem huge but after driving both I feel the F150 has more visibility and doesn't feel as big driving. As Eric said condensation has been taken care of for about 6 years. F150's do have no ground clearance I scraped mine all the time just on Potash Road. You'll have to take a look at Eric's when you get back into town, his little lift helped a lot.
One thing with the Ecoboost which hasn't seem to been a problem for anyone on here, and it may just be a difference in cooling for the F150 vs the Expedition. But the trailer I tow with my expedition is right around 8500lbs, and anytime I pull a grade with the temp above 70 it will overheat.
I loved my 2014 Ram 2500 Cummins, that being said I think i'm over diesels as well. Unless I get to a point where i'm towing weekly I don't think i'll ever own one again. These new gas motors are just to good, 8k less from the get go and way cheaper maintenance. And for the cost of the diesel you could rebuild the gasser every 100k and still come out ahead with money for gas.
