first time owning a superduty

due to life circumstances I had to sell my 2012 fx2 and picked up a 2000 model extended cab f250 with the v-10 at only 88k original miles. so far I absolutely love this truck. Just waiting to add a few goodies like remote start and the only thing I will miss about the f150 will be the speed of the 5.0

You will also miss the gas mileage.

I had a 2000 F-250 with the 5.4 gas engine...had it almost 4 yrs. and the only vehicle I never had to get anything corrected on it. Only complaint was the rough ride with the camper overload springs. Congrats on a good work truck with fairly low miles.

im extremely happy with the truck, ive done the normal maintenance items. oil change, air filter, fuel filter, and serp belt. I of course had to do the door lock actuators, and I need to get the newer style cup holders.
