Rear suspension.

Awaiting delivery of my new2020 F 250. I have had a 2012 model for a while.  Anytime I towed a loaded trailer the rear would drop like crazy like these kids now with their trucks leaning to the rear. I had to have an air lift system installed to raise the rear. How is the standard rear suspension on the 2020? Does it hold up well?

Waiting for my F250 as well. I went back to the dealer and added the Camper Package to the order to get the upgraded springs, aux spring, and rear sway bar.

 

I suppose there are lots of variables here -- do you have a WD hitch? Bumper pull? Stuff in the bed besides?

I test drove a new F-250 and F-350 a couple of weeks ago.  The F-350 ride was quite firm and no jostling.  The F-250 jostled quite a bit more.  When I hooked up my 5,000 lb dry weight trailer the F-350 dropped about an inch.  When I hooked up my 2008 F-150 with no tow package it probably dropped about 4", but it sits on a OEM rake so still didn't look like the butt was dragging.

 

So I'm just guessing the new F-250 might drop 2-3".

 

BTW, the new Superduties are fantastic trucks!  I'm in love with mine!

Rented a 2019 F350 PSD CCLB for a camping trip recently.  Had to adjust my drawbar down to the lowest setting to compensate for the taller 2019 vs. my 2011 F250.  It towed the ~12k travel trailer with authority - as expected.  Seemed to be a better ride and more resistant to tail wagging than the older truck.  Really looking forward to arrival of the ordered 2020 F350 PSD CCLB!
