Nope.

I need a pickup but I don't need a SD.

They are great looking trucks but I'd take an F150 KR in that new off-white...drop dead gorgeous.

The SDs are great if you need that type of a work horse, but my F150 is more refined on the inside and drives a lot better.

I would love to get a Powerstroke at some point but if was given that check today I would go pick up a black GT500 Mustang. I am gonna try to buy my uncles F250 PS in 2 or 3 years when he gets a new truck.

Oh no, I know the 450 is over 60K- had a gut feeling on that- then one of the folks above confirmed they were 65K on E-bay.

The 49.6K I mention is the price I saw last year at Middlekauf Ford for an F-250 PSD King Ranch. I figured with that as a price for the lowest of the Super Duties, the 450 will make many folks take the sledge hammer to their piggy banks.

I remember when I got my Expedition 2000, the Super Duty F-250's (With the current bodystyle,and CrewCab) were $24,000 for the XLT. I stopped by North Central the other day, and the Lariat's were over $40,000.00.

Well, if the US Mint drops a 75 lb bag of hundred dollar bills in my back yard, I'm getting this...




I'll tow my MDX behind it, to get around once I get where I'm going.

I'd hire two professional drivers (when I didn't feel like dirving) and travel that way...

Mine would be either all black, with Chrome wheels, or burgundy. Not mixed up, like this one is... A remodeled Greyhound- 10-wheel bus... Not those tall, top heavy, itty-bitty tire and 4 - 6 wheel deals I see on the road sometimes.

If you're gonna be a bear, be a Grizzly!!!

I'd never have a PSD. They're the biggest piece of crap trucks on the planet. IMO. V10's are fine but they get bad gas mileage. Now I do plan to have a SD soon but it won't have a PSD in it.....

That's what I'm on the fence about right now. I'm going to get an 05 KR, just not sure if it's gonna be a 1/250. I'm trying to justify having that much truck for a weekend cruiser and road trips.

I had 2002 PSD. It was the 7.3 There is no comparison from that to the V10 period. I even had a trip to Yellowstone national park and averaged a little over 22 mpg. That V10 wouldn't hold a candle to a tuned 7.3 PSD, except when it came to turning into gas stations.

Yep, and how many trannies did you put in it? How much did it cost to change the oil? How much more is diesel than gas? How much extra is the diesel option? How much gas can you buy with the extra money? 22mpg? In a 8,000lb truck? My uncle's 7.3 barely gets 18mpg unloaded. (which is good, I think) Did you turn it off at drive thru's, or when someone drove up along side to talk cause you couldn't hear anything? Did you like smelling the diesel fumes when the wind was blowing the exhaust toward the cab or when standing around with the engine idling? Why do you think it will pull more than a V10 which has MORE horsepower? Have you even driven a V10? If so, what did it not pull? Did you like HAVING to plug it in on a cold day? Did you like it not starting if you forgot to plug it in? Did you like having to replace the batteries every 2 years? Sure it has its advantages, but they aren't that great.
