they are reallllllyyy heavy....they handle rather well becouse of the weight... ..if you buy one...you will need to rotate the tires like every oil change........ on ya... most of these trucks take between 10 and 15 quarts of oil...

If you do get a powerstroke, stay away from 2003-2004s. I got lucky and got a 2002 7.3. But, a 6.0 can be a good truck with a little modding... haha, it gets addicting though!

7.3's are better for work in my opinion, more reliable when worked all the time, where the 6.0 is more of a hot rodder and has a lot more to go wrong with the VGT and more complex computer controls.
