Technically, I can legally tow at the limit, but I’d be by myself and only have half a tank of gas So that doesn’t get me anywhere. I think it would be nice to get HDPP with the 302 sport package. Fords optioning/combinations are a little odd in my opinion.I agree with you that expecting to tow (in all conditions: altitude, grade, crosswind) right at the tow limit is a recipe for potential disaster. But I'm talking barely able to "legally" tow 50% of the tow rating.
I also understand the typical answer is move up to SuperDuty, which of course does have much more payload and trailering. Just right now, you can't get Sync4 or ProPower (among other things, like Max Recline, etc) in a F250/350.
But on the point of it would be nice to have everything... all the options and all the payload, that's not what I was looking for. It's just if you want a PB (for RVing) you are severely limited (way below max rating) in trailer size AND it didn't have to be, Ford makes a F150 7850 GVWR spec. The PB with Max Tow should be built (if in fact ANYTHING else is actually needed) and then TESTED and SPEC'D to 7850.
In my humble opinion....
I looked at F250 also but like you I wanted the big screen and some other creature comforts for the 95% of the time i don’t pull anything. plus, I think the ride is way better when the 150 is empty versus a 250.
