Thanks for the feedback, dealer never mention fuel mpg from what I seen on you tube videos both trucks are 19 mpg highway speed. What do you tow with your 2500? I plan on towing and RV with weight 11,00 lbs. You tube video state Chevy better at low speed when taking off, but Ford out does it at the top end. Its been awhile since I owned a Chevy, but I do like all the features for $$$$. Compare to the Fords. Then comparing 2500 to the Dodge they where about equal on towing.

We have decided to join the RV world, and I need upgrade my 2017 F150, with towing capacity of 9000 lbs, trying to decide. I am really a Ford man , but after looking at the Chevy maybe be switching every dodge I ever owned has had major issues, especially with the transmission and it happen at low miles 50K. After test driving F250 XL with SRX package, I did like they way it road, the step up ladder for the bed, and fuel economy although I drove it short ways 22 mpg was register dash driving on interstate, which surprise me that diesel engine if that's true mileage. F250 Warranty 100,000 / 10 year power train at this dealership, I like the 10 year warranty. Dislikes: I did not like cab was plane had some features, no change from my current 2017 F150 no fancy camera systems to see trailers. Leg room was okay like truck I have now, but Chevy does have F250 beat on the cab. Review Chevy 2500 LTZ Chevy 2500 HD LTZ awesome cab, with lots of leg room I am 6'7 inches although I can drive both trucks defiantly had more leg room in the Chevy, plus the cameras system for towing trailers. The Chevy was 2 wheel drive Ford 4 wheel drive, but I really never had need4 wheel drive. I live in GA Chevy package step up from Ford XL package. Dislike Chevy seem to ride a little rougher than the ford, fuel economy 16 mpg in 15 mile test ride. Is there really that big a difference between the two trucks. Towing and payload Chevy towing 14,500 3,200 lbs pay load. Ford 18,500 with 3,400 pay load. Both have 6.5 beds. Question the 5th wheel we are buying Grand Design weight 10,500 dry, with tongue weight 1,300 lbs. What is the difference Chevy pull goose neck total towing capacity goes to 18,500 compare to max towing 14,500 lbs. Warranty power train 5 year/100K, compare F250 100k 10 year warranty, As for dodge unless someone can convince me they have changed I will not consider one. Owned 3 different ones in 20 years in fact own 2014 Jeep Cherokee now, and it does have slight tranny problems, but car does have 100k. Overall I am leaning toward Chevy 2500 due to the cabin and the features, just was not impressed with the ride or fuel mileage, for those who have owned both which truck is better for towing RV's. Plus years down the road we may upgrade RV, but I don't think we will ever exceed 18,500 lbs in towing. The Ford hanging in there with better fuel mileage and warranty package. . Price point Chevy was $4k cheaper than the Ford, with more features but its 2 wheel drive instead of 4 wheel drive .Lastly, Is it even worth going to look at the RAM trucks. Open to all thoughts and suggestion any help is greatly appreciated.
