we need a rolling eyes / slap in the face reply for your posts sometimes.
lol, maybe, yeah. But Camper Jeff knows what he got into (for whatever reason) and you’re a Ford Superfan, yet no 6.0 in your driveway I bet.
I wrote what I wrote in the event someone besides the 3 of us reads these, while contemplating that “great deal” for a 6 litre Ford diesel.
PS, didn’t make none of that up.
I’ve known a few folks with good ones too. But they were actually bulletproofed.
Just so many other/better options out there. Unless you’re looking for a challenge….then it’s the perfect engine!
na, I bought 99 a 7.3 diesel and just got rid of it in 2016 when I bought the new 5th wheel, and the truck that happened to be there when I was looking was my 6.7. I was looking at a dually king ranch with a 6.0 in it before than when I couldn't understand what I would ever want a dually for 🙄.
I am not afraid of the 6.0, what would back me off is if some one had it tuned. then I would run away like a bad dream. if it was stock and owned by one of those old men who had a little book with every fuel purchase and fuel milage and oil changes and any other maintenance like I found in my 1999, I would be all over it haha
its far from the perfect engine, but if treated right it is good. I like the 6.4 even more even though it was a horror show, but when deleted and tuned it was a monster haha.. but no my favorite is the 6.7 followed by the 7.3, I am just over the noise of the older diesels now.
I wouldn't call my self a super fan, I do like ford, but when I got my last truck I test drove them all, the dodge felt to slow and road the roughest so it was the first one off the list. almost bought the chev dually but the sales person was a jerk and my wife told me we were leaving. we just happened across this one I have on a 2 year lease return and it had all the features we needed. wife has a bad back so we needed heated seats and I wanted power window and lock, and AC because I live a few feet out of hell haha.
Thought you lived in Canada? Not that you don’t want or need AC in the summer…. But pretty much all trucks for the last 20 years have power windows and locks and AC, lol. And every leather seat truck has heated seats and some lower trim models as well with cloth.
Pretending those features are what got you into another Powerstroke is almost funnier than the rough ride and grumpy salesman reasons!
All I can say is “didn’t buy Ram because it rode rougher (lol) and didn’t buy the Dmax because sales person wasn’t nice (double lol) and 6.4 is worse than 6.0 but like it more” basically says you have a blue oval tattooed somewhere on your body.
It’s ok man. Most people are brand loyal in some fashion. No surprise.
But cmon…..didn’t get a 6.0 because there was a 6.7 attached to the camper you wanted is a really strange way of just saying I Love Ford.
nope I have had all three brands dodge chev and ford, even had a skoda (that was a weird car haha)
but I kind like how you invent stuff in posts so you can be as negative as possible. when I was evaluating the truck the dodge, was the roughest riding and was slow, the biggest reason it got took of the list, it was boring to drive and rough.
the part you glossed over on the d max is they were asking 20K over blue book value and because of its age it would have been 1200/month which was outrageous and it also didn't have heated seats which my wife needs for her back and no Bluetooth so what another 3000 bucks to fix that up.
as for AC and power windows, I guess my 1999 7.3 is older than 20 years, guess you can't count on top of saying anything positive.. maybe if you came up to Canada you would realize we don't live in igloo's and they we actually do get hot, where I am, it is a desert and is well over 90 most of the summer and quite often over 110F
as for this you posted, "didn’t get a 6.0 because there was a 6.7 attached to the camper" you just totally invented that.
I didn't get a 6.0 because I didn't want a dually at the time, plus I didn't really need a new truck then, I got my 6.7 when I bought the big 5th wheel because I was 500lbs over the rear axels on the f250 and was worried about getting stopped, plus all the other things I wanted to upgrade in it to get AC, power windows and locks and so on that modern trucks have
