Not at all. Just wanted to change up a bit. Loved the 250..Haven't had a chance to tow with the duramax yet

It is hard to use the hand warmers on the tailgate while pushing your Ford home when a trailer is attached.

I was at odds with duramax or cummins. I ended up going with cummins just because that's what my dad has and I see more ram cummins than duramax on the road... probably because the GMC's are more expensive than the ram's.

great looking truck though.

Thanks...Only reason i didnt go with cummins was before the F250, i was in a ram. Didnt have the cummins but i didnt want to buy the exact same truck just for the diesel motor..Honestly, i like all the newer diesels out there

Sweet. I know you haven't towed with it yet, but what do you consider the pro's vs. con's of this truck compared to the Ford.

Well so far the only pros are fewer miles than the 250, but being the 250 was tuned and deleted, this truck feels super sluggish but ill be deleting soon. Other than that, theres not much..Duramax rides better

2015 F15o Eco Boost - no issue with pulling and handling. Many additional features for towing. Can't say enough about the over all package Yamaha and Ford a winning combination and damn sweet appearance

I think you need a bigger boat now! 24' Yamaha shouldn't be noticeable behind that truck! I really like those wheels, I want to add some black wheels and larger tires to my F150.

One of my good friends just traded his Denali 2500 for the 350 below.

Those are sharp, you shouldn't have a problem selling them. I'm going to attempt stuffing 35's under mine when my stock tires are shot. Might be a little tight on just adjustable coil springs set at 2.25" of lift.
