2020 vs '17-'19 Ford 6.7

^^^ I don't blame you.... it's probably less humiliating for you to keep your head buried in the sand while blowing smoke out your @$$.:)

4xford.... you just sunk your own battleship.
Your backing skills are exemplary, but not your math.
If I’d claimed I could average $2k/year depreciation by trading up, I wouldn’t have written a paragraph admitting I’d be $7k a year into it!

I agree that buying a new truck every 3 years makes no sense at all. They are expensive, they last and they depreciate.

I bought a 2002 Ford 7.3 new and I am still driving it because there is nothing wrong with it. It is dependable and now it is going up in value. I paid $35k and it is worth close to $20k.

Here's some actual numbers for you to consider:

I paid cash for a new Super Duty in 2011. Five years and 100,000 miles later I sold it privately and by adding $27k to the sale price I bought a 2016 Super Duty. 18 months and 35,000 miles later I sold the 2016 privately and by adding $15k cash I purchased a new 2017 Super Duty. If I were to sell my 2017 today, with 28,000 miles on it, I believe I could add $21k cash and purchase a new 2020 SuperDuty.

So if I replace my 2017 I will have a total of $63k plus my 2011 Super Duty spent to own a new 2020 Super Duty Platinum.

Had I kept my 2011 Super Duty it would now have 163,000 miles on it and be approaching 10 years old. If I were to sell it today and buy a new 2020 I would likely be looking at about 60k difference. I would have saved some money by having less money tied up in a vehicle over the last few years had I kept the 2011 but, on the other hand I might have had some repair bills to offset some of that.

So like I said owning these trucks costs a lot of money but whether you trade every 3
years vs every 10 is not really a big deal one way vs the other.

Not doin a numbers crunchin pissin match with ya. Wont even read....

I just test drove one------ and ordered one.

Turbo lag is way better than my '16. Power on acceleration is great... Steering feels good. My '16 is too loose and the '17 I had was too tight.

There are ZERO within 5 hours of me to test drive... My dealer called me last night ( while I was out of state ) to tell me they just dealer traded for one from WV and it was on it's way there.

Figures, I was out of state...I have found 1 or 2 of the 6.7, but I want the same trim as well to test drive..
Even know I already ordered, I am am getting ITCHY

Only rich people can answer your question.

These trucks are expensive no matter how you buy them. Replacing your diesel every 3 years vs every 10 probably only costs about $2k per year more.

You cant be serious... Your a car salesman’s dream.

What 4xford does with his trucks, he’s probably getting the better end of the deal by trading up every few years, but he’s the 2nd owner’s nightmare!

Yes, if you don’t buy it outright.
