Help selecting proper tow truck
I am getting a 5th wheel. Avalanche 380fl Specs of the 5th wheel have a gross combine weight rating of 15,600 when loaded. Hitch weight is like 2800 pounds. I am looking on Craigslist for older...

I agree that a 6.0L Powerstroke is something to avoid completely. There is NOTHING even the most knowledgeable mechanic can SEE by simply looking under the hood that will tell him/her/you that this is a good engine.
People don't generally get rid of a vehicle because it's perfectly good, especially something more than 5 years old with lots of miles on it. If it was perfectly good, they'd still be driving it.
When you buy used, you are buying someone else's problems.
The second half is a blanket statement that isn't true. There is a big difference in perfectly good and that class of vehicle doesn't fit needs anymore.
I have a 2007 F-150 5.4 V8 with tow package. 130,000 miles. Truck is in great condition inside and out. I will problably keep it because it's paid for and I have a kid about to hit college. But I have an internal debate regularly about selling to get an F-250 or just downsizing to a Jeep if I decide to get a Class C. No college to pay for and I would get a Jeep Wrangler and Class C or small A.
For me an F-150 doesn't fit my needs anymore. I don't need a truck bed for the current phase of life and it won't pull the RV I want. For someone who wants to pull a boat and isn't concerned with tongue weight, it's a great truck.
