I'm selling my GMC Yukon, and my dad and I can't decide on a 04 F-150, or a 05 (restyled) F-250. Here is my thinking, the F-150 is easier to drive, park, and get gas for. The F-250 has a lot more power (Powerstroke Diesel) and could tow a car trailer better than the F-150. I'm spilt between the two, and my dad is leaning toward the F-250. What do you guys think?

I would wait and see if they change the 6.0 to the 6.4. If they do, I would not get it. If they stick with the 6.0, they should have all of the problems worked out.

f-250, better hauling capactiy, and unless you go crewcab longbox it shouldnt be that much harder to park, and drive?? No difference worth noticing, I had driven 1-ton diesel pickups all of my life and bought a shortbox 4x4 f-150 and it sucks, doesn't have enough nut to pull anything, sucks on gas, with a car trailer and car behind it, its kinda like the tail waggin the dog.

If you plane on doing heavy towing get the super. Just want a nice comfy truck for light towing get the 150.

Both
light towing = 65 427 cobra, 2200 pounds
Heavy towing = 66 442, a lot more than 2200 pounds

Plus I have to be able to park it at school.

the new f150 have a higher tow rating. It's like 9500 lbs or something so it should haul your cars just fine.
