Hello all,
I'm in the process of pruchasing a new truck and wanted to know the differences between the 250 and 350. From what I have found, there's only a small difference in the rear suspension. Is that true?

I'm looking at a F350 KR diesel, 4x4, long bed, SRW.



Thanks for your help,
Rick

Right, the F-350 has a stiffer set of springs and a 4 inch lift block (vs. the F-250's 2 inch lift block).

The F350 also has a higher GVWR, which in some cases may cause you to pay more for your registration.

clean fuel = happy injectors

changing the filter with every other oil change is a rule of thumb from almost any diesel mechanic
