Used tow vehicles

I just saw the truck I traded in a few weeks ago on the dealers website listed at $44,000.00... they gave me $41,000.00 trade..

2015 - 6.7 - F350 - SRW - SB - 4X4 -57,500 miles - They added 12 months/12,000 mile warranty...

I already have a truck. LOL. 2000 F350 extended cab. Paid $8k for it 2-1/2 years ago, with 95k on it. My 2001 CTD surpassed 300k, so I found my present truck. 148k on it now. It just surprises me someone would pay twice as much as I did for this truck.

I opted for the 40k truck, the bear 2.

Going 3,000 miles on something that cost you $7 would have a cost per mile of $.00233(as in less than a quarter of a penny).

You're right I was calculating miles per penny

The prices of new trucks is driving the used truck prices higher.

$40,000 to $80,000 for a new truck depending on how it is equipped and tow capability.

When my parents owned their 05 Duramax during the early DPF equipped trucks era, they would get asked if they wanted to sell their truck. Now that they own a 2016 Duramax with all the emissions equipment they never have been asked if they wanted to sell it.

For our farm/ranch use we only purchase non DPF equipped diesel trucks which as of now consist of (2) 5.9 cummins and (1) 7.3 Power Stroke.

I've owned both trucks, the 5.9 (2001) and 7.3 (2000 now). What does the DEF add to the cost of operations on newer trucks
