2011 f250 6.2 good investment? need to know quickly

Anyone have any info on engine longevity?,
MPG?,
problems with the 2011 f250 6.2?

I am looking at one with 160k miles on it. The truck its self is "mint" for my location with salt on the roads and all, It has no rust and just a few dents and dings.
Is this truck a decent investment?

The 6.2 is a very solid engine from what I'm reading.

MPG will not be very good - I'd guess 15 tops, more likely less.

And it is NO investment, unless you consider a depreciating asset an investment. It will last another 50-80k miles.

Well, the 6.2 is a much more reliable engine than a 3 valve 5.4.

I had a '12 FX4 super cab long bed. Maybe on the highway. 11-12 mpg around town. If only they would build this with 3.55:1. Great engine and truck. Except on the SoCal freeway's where the ear drum was given a run for the money with the freeway hop...(800 lbs of tools in bed all the time too).
