Opinions re: ride quality F150 vs. F250
Greetings,
I will be purchasing a new truck soon to replace my 1999 F150 Supercab. I definitely want the super crew in either the F150 or F250. I plan on demoing both before making a purchase decision, but I was wondering if anyone could provide their opinions on ride quality between the two. I am concerned that the solid front axle of the 250 will make for a harsher ride. BTW, I will be getting a 2WD gas burner regardless. TIA. Merry Christmas !

Only the 4x4 Super Duty trucks have a solid front axel. The 4x2's have independant front suspension. It is not the same as the F-150 4x2's A-arms and coil springs. I beleive the F-250 4x2's use the older twin I-beam IFS. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I know the 4x4 Super Duties ride stiffer than 4x4 F-150's and I would imagine the same is true with the 4x2's. You've got the right idea, test drive both and decide for yourself. The longer wheelbase of a short bed, crewcab Super Duty may help to reduce the effect of the stiffer suspension, but you need to decide for youself.

How are you going to beat the best riding truck out there...The F150, rides better then some cars...There is no comparision, I own both, although I have modified the SD and it is entirely different(better) THEN STOCK...It does have the twin I-beam, last ford truck to use it...It has MORE comfortable seats then the SCREW...But then I prefer a ride a little on the firm side...(performance oriented)

in my experience an F150 rides better. i have never owned a 250 but i have driven every configuration of 250 and 350 except regular cab. i could feel bumps in the 250 and 350 but when you put a trailer on it rides like a cadillac. not that i really care about the ride, its a truck, let it bounce
