Future Downsize in Alabama
Hi guys, I've set back and read a bunch of threads.
No sense asking the same question that's asked on earlier thread.
NOW...
Let me introduce myself. I'm retired, I camp a lot... I bought my last new truck several years ago. When I think about trading, I ask a friend who is a Ford salesman to find what I'm looking for. Someone else can take the initial loss, when they drive it off the lot.
I drive a 2008 6.4 PSD Lariat. Great truck. I know some get better mileage, I know some are stronger... BUT. I bought mine for a song. I drive mine everyday, and frequently tow a 28-30' trailer. It's conquered the Rockies towing, the Smokey Mts. towing ect...
It's done everything I asked it to do. What more can you ask?
The price of Diesel isn't Ford's fault. I fuss and pay up at the pumps.
Problem is my warranty runs out this September... I've been reading the forum studying the EB and the .5.0... When the 2015s come out I'll probably trade for a used low mileage 2012-2014 F-150 4X4.
I've made my last tow to the Rockies, so a F-150 will do what I want.
I'm not one of the guys who keep up with MPG, it's a truck that hauls things from A to B... and serves as a daily driver.
I've enjoyed the exchanges between the members. I'll post some, but I'm not gonna argue with anyone over their opinion. IT'S THEIRS,
and my opinion is mine. I continue to enjoy reading about your trucks.
