Default Need a f250

We need a f259 for the farm. We have to pull peanut trailers and pull some heavy farm equipment. So I found this truck for $ 6200. How much will ball joints and brakes cost and is that 5.4 solid?
Thanks

Don't you have a 5.4 in your truck? It's the same engine as the F150, in a heavier truck.

Judging by the pictures I'd have a hard time believing anything on that truck "works great." Maybe the rear view mirror? Thats probably about it.

You in Fayetteville, NC?

Looked at cars.com and found this:

F250 diesel $7,500

I dont trust the sellers who first say theyre selling it because they need the money but then say theyre willing to trade for something else like this guy did.

And atleast get the garbage out of it before taking pics.

That truck looks like it was owned by someone who doesn't give a damn about anything and takes care of their vehicles in that manner. No -way- I would even waste my time. And heavy towing with that gasser?

If you will be hauling and towing frequently, look at a 7.3, or if you don't want diesel, get the v10.
