We have a 2016 and a '17 F-250 here. I'm not so sure I'd buy a new Ford these days.
Sounds like you don’t actually own a Ford, and drive your employer’s trucks. What do you find wrong with new Fords other than maybe the price?
One more thing, a tuned 6.4 will literally stomp any stock gas engine truck for power and mpg especially at elevation. I agree the stock one with full emissions is an abomination. Kind of a shame that the diesels of those years with DPFs that didn’t use DEFs was so horrible while they used the owners for research and development.
They are both regular cab 4wd, same as my truck.
The ride, the height of the step to get into the cab, small cab, interior ergonomics and poor gas mileage.
The power is good and I love the control you have over the transmission. Every auto trans should be like they are.
I know that diesels have more power than gas engines do. I've driven diesels that were very impressive. That particular 6.4 was a dog. I am not anti diesel.
