Hi everyone, We currently pull our Jayco Fifth Wheel with a 1993 Silverado Duly one ton 454 and are going to finally update a bit and are looking for a used truck. We came across a nice looking 2015 Ford 250 super duty, 6.7 diesel. It only has about 4,200 miles on it which makes us nervous. I mean, great that there is not many miles on it but wondering why someone would get rid of a fairly new truck. Does anyone here own this truck or know anyone who does? We have only owned Chevy's and GMC's. Thank you for any replies.

Life circumstances could be the reason. One or the other could have gotten sick, or worse. there could be a divorce, or maybe it was more than they could pay for. and its possible they just don't go much. My 2014 Taurus only has 25000 on it. Were it me, and the price was right. I'd jump on it with both feet. It is still under warranty

If you go to the ford-trucks.com site, you can probably ask someone to run an Oasis report. If it is at a Ford dealer, ask them. It could be a flood truck though.If they only used it on some weekends, that number of miles are very possible. It could have only been owned for year as a model year holdover. Carfax or similar will let you know how many people have owned it.

Thank you. Price was 41,900. But, you are right - still under warranty!Thanks for your reply.

Bought brand new F350 diesel $44,000. 2016.

Definitely do some checking as the milage sounds too good to be true.

You can't trust Carfax 100%. I got burned by them. Later discovered a lot of body and paint work. Get an independent inspection by a trusted paint & body shop.
I'm not the weight police but check the payload capacity.

Just ask the seller. It could have sat on the lot for a year before it sold. Then it might have been parked alot.

I think you have already gotten the best advice. Get an Oasis report and see its history! Friend bought a 2014 F250 powerstroke new and it lived at dealer. It did a regen every 15 mi and he finally traded it for a gasser. Dealer did take care of him financially so no loss.

Not only is that truck still under warranty, you can still purchase a Ford extended warranty. Good idea to do so, just make sure it is the Ford warranty.

I think you are being a little unfair. You can't blame Carfax for things that did not get reported, and they are very clear that not everything gets reported. You got burned by a used vehicle deal.

I bought my 2012 F-250 6.2 gasser with 25,000 miles and was able to get a Ford extended warranty. Was also a CPO. I've been happy. Had it for a year. Original owner put 5,000 miles per year on it at best.

Could be that the previous owner bought the truck before camper and realized not all 3/4 ton trucks can pull and stop a large rv. As been said check payload.

as others have said there are a lot of circumstances that could be with that low of miles. I bought my used 2002 f-350 dually in 05 with 18000 miles and it is now 2017 and I have 36000 on her. they probably got to much truck for what they needed or could not afford those payments. that is why I keep my 2002. She is paid for.

also note, a totally new body style just rolled out. That typically does damage to the previous body style truck prices.
