Well guys and gals it's coming time for me to get a newer truck but am having a dilemma in picking the one. First off I'm sure all of you will say your choices are apples to oranges and it's going to depend on what you want to use it for, just hear me out.
I currently have a 08 F350 King Ranch, I initially bought it as a DD and to tow my car with a 28' enclosed car hauler from fort Mac to Edmonton to race. I sold my car and trailer so I won't be towing for awhile. I love my truck on these icy winter roads especially hwy 63 as with studded tires this thing has the weight to hold nicely.
I am accustomed now to a larger truck it seems, luxury, safer, high tech, powerful and being able to see above most of the other traffic.
2013 f150 platinum - pro- luxury, cheaper, cheaper Maintenence, better ride than a 1ton, better fuel economy. Con- smaller, low ground clearance, less power, everyone has one
2013 f350 platinum- pro- most luxuriest, powerful, safer, can handle any future towing,etc. Con- most expensive, worse ride, not great fuel economy
2013 SVT Raptor- Pro- some luxury, best ride, powerful, fun, more off-road capable
Con- just about as expensive as f350, fuel economy, smaller, less luxuriest
So here is the dilemma all, again, I know apples to oranges, let's hear your thoughts.
