2012 Ford F-250 Lariat 4x4

This truck our local dealer has put out after putting 16,000 miles on it going Pheasant hunting in North Dakota (from PA). He probably did a few other things as well, its only 3000 miles round trip unless he did it multiple times.

Anyway, it has the 6.7 L diesel and looks good. The bed needs to be cleaned out. My question is how long can a diesel go, and is 16,000 miles just a break in period for a diesel? I have a couple other questions for the dealer, but am looking at this towing my new trailer 2011 Nash 27T - Dry Weight of 7000, GVW 10,500. I have a 2000 E-350 V-10 with 130,000 miles that I'm using right now, and I've loved this Van, but as I am starting to get the feel for this towing stuff the van certainly does know it is towing something. I havn't pushed it too much yet.
