Will either of them pull my 6500 lb of boat/trailer like it's not even there? For those that tow with similar trucks, what sort of towing MPG do you see? Any reason why I would be disappointed with the upgrade?
For the Super-Duty Diesel, go for a 2011 or later. It does require DEF, but it also has improved mileage by about 20% over the 2010.

I've had both the F250 and F350. When not towing, the F350 rides higher and has a stiffer ride. I can only speak of the Lariats. The in cab engine noise is almost non-existent.
