What I traded my F150 for

Here's what you can get when you trade in an 04 F150 FX4 and a pile of $$

06 F250 6.0 PSD Lariat FX4.....
Is this worthy of a couple nanners?!

As much as I really, REALLY love those 6.0 crew cab 4x4 super dutys, I would not trade up to one when diesel is still $1.30 more then 87 right now.

Nice truck though

As much as I want one now I could not stand to have a previous body style truck because the all new 07 6.4 twin turbo will be out next year.

Sharp truck though.

How do you like the F250's power compared to the 5.4? What about gas milage, what are you getting (if you've had enough time to check). Lastly, is it noisy inside the cab with that diesel chugging? I do not regret getting my F150 over an F250 diesel at all.

The power is definitely more.
The thing hauled *** up a 1/2 mile 12% grade to get to my house. My F150 would have never done that so effortlessly.

On the hiway coming home the info center was at 16.5-17mpg and the truck only has 22 miles on it.
My F150 never got better than 15.5.
The noise isn't much more than my old truck on the hiway... city it is a little noisier, but it is a diesel.
Compared it to a Cummins.... the Ram was impressively quiet!

My comparison for drivability... the F250 drives like a truck... the F150 is more like a sports car. I will miss that! And I will miss the interior styling of my FX4, especially the center shift .

Here's a pic of the F250 interior

Ya same here, diesel is $3.50 and 87 octane is $2.69 so making the move to a F250 diesel right now is just plane stupid for me. Maybe next year.

I LOVE IT!

One question though, isnt the upper bumper supposed to be painted silver to match the lower trim? I saw a Black with Arizona Beige lower and the front upper bumper was also painted AB.
