Having owned a Ford Truck since 1977 F100 Camper special cosigned by Bank Of Mom
Currently the only difference between the F250 and SRW F350 is Badges, springs, spacer and sometimes axle
Current truck is the F350 2008 4X4 V10 auto Lariat with 100K miles >> gets 10 - 11 MPG running empty or pulling 2 large cars on the trailer
Prior was 02 F250 4X4 V10 auto loaded with everything >> Had 233K miles when I sold it to a local guy, He still uses it to pull his 5th wheel in the summer and snow plow in the winter
Prior was a 1995 F250 4X4 460 engine auto loaded with everything >> Had 252K miles when I sold it to a guy on the Cape



I work the trucks hard and keep up on the maintenance
To me diesel is just more noise and money, My V10's have been able to EVERYTHING i have every needed them to do
I buy them new, the Diesels I think they are getting about an extra 5K for the extra noise and more expensive upkeep
