Sounds like an awesome truck!
Personally, I would hold out for a diesel, for the size/mileage of the truck, a PSD is the way to go IMO. It is a good truck, though, no reason to pass on it if you like it.
We need pictures!

the 6.8 is a good engine, lots of torque (not as strong towing as the diesels but still a good motor and will outpull / outmileage a 5.4)


I miss mine, the 3.73 gears I had were great on the highway and I've love ot get another V-10 truck

I wish i could have found that low of mileage truck.....

I say get it if you haven't already buck. The deer that jump out in front of the 350 with the plow on it will get absolutely destroyed.

A V-10 with 3.73s would probably get halfway decent mileage, especially with a reg cab.

We use a '99 F250 Scab with the v10 for plowing in winter and the occasional trailer towing (16/18'). Always has more than enough power for us. Gets up to 12 on the highway but really likes to drink driving around town.

What you need it for Buck?
It can't be for hauling the 5 pounds worth of sunfish you caught on your fishing trip last week-end

Seriously, looks nice a nice truck and the plow is going to make you everyones best friend.
Maybe you even make a few extra bucks just looking after your pals and cruising during the storms.

I need it for many things like hauling wood pellets, fire wood, plowing my
1400' driveway etc... And i'll pretend i didn't see the fish comment
