F150 VS. F250
I currently have a '93 F150 XLT 4x4. I am in the market for a new Ford truck. I really prefer the looks of the F250 over the new F150's, but I wonder if the ride is that much worse in a F250 compared to my current truck. I really don't ever haul anything to warrant a F250, but they look really cool compared to the F150.
Also, I can't seem to get a straight answer on the mileage of a new F250 4x4 with the 5.4L engine. Right now I'm getting around 13 mpg with my F150.

The rides just a little stiffer. If you air down the tires to 45 or 50 pounds (they are LT's on the F250SD) when not hauling or towing it will be minimal. Not bad at all. Hey! go drive one!
You will get about the same mileage from the 5.4L F250SD 4X4 Super cab as you are getting now. I have a 4X2 Supercab and get 15 mixed, 17 highway trips and 11-12 towing a 5K travel Trailer. Thats at 5K on the Odometer so far.
