Why don't you start a poll?
Because either way it’s not a definitive of which way I’ll go. I will ultimately get what ever I like most come test drive time. The wife still wants me to test drive a 250 as well so all this concern for mpg could fly right out the window pending on how test drives go lolWhy don't you start a poll?

Most my driving is highway, I have a couple stretches that are bumper to bumper traffic but then it opens back up to 70-80 mph cruising. I’ve ready the 2017+ F-250 does better then the previous two years as well with fuel mileage.FWIW, my 2015 F250 gets 15-16mpg around town. It's bone stock still. I would imagine the newer trucks do a little better. On the highway I get 19-21. But then I only cruise at 75. I have a 21' boat and occasionally tow a car. My biggest issue when towing either of those is keeping it under 70. Including going over a mountain that goes from sea level to 4500ft between me and Lake Havasu. I'm usually passing people on that mountain because I forget I'm towing.

I’ll definitely be test driving one along side the F-150 just to consider all options. The appeal of the 250 is more cabin space and more bed space, plus I think they look better then the 150. Only problem with the 250s is it seems they aren’t nearly as plentiful on dealer lots as the F-150 is so it would make finding one equipped how I want but still priced where I’d like to be more difficult.
Thankfully I’m not in a position where I must buy something so if I need to wait to find what I want be it 150 or 250 I surely will.
Here is where I am in that. I'm about to go to a F150. F250 all day if you tow often. Otherwise F150 with air bags and brake upgrade. I hate how my F250 rides around town. So damn bumpy. I tow the boat and car a total of maybe 10-12 times a year and it's usually a short 1 hour haul.
Yea that’s the one thing that draws me to the 150, also dollar for dollar I could get a more loaded truck as there are many 18s on dealer lots. I don’t see myself towing enough to need bags or brake upgrades. As it is I currently tow the tractor with my wife’s xc90 but it is dead at the max limit and i hate beating on that thing.

I’ll definitely have to look into that, I’ve been in some new F-150 crew cabs and I felt they were smaller then the 250 but I’ve never compared the two side by side.I could be wrong but i thought the f150 and 250s now use the same cab?
I rode in a buddy's Ram 2500 and my F150 Crew is noticeably larger than his bigger truck. The 150 Cabs are huge.I’ll definitely have to look into that, I’ve been in some new F-150 crew cabs and I felt they were smaller then the 250 but I’ve never compared the two side by side.
Edit- it appears they are the same cab. That really will play a role for the 250 even being considered or not. Ultimately test drives with the wife will determine the exact purchase.
