Carringb,
I'm a Gas 6.8l V10 Ford Excursion girl here. I had that for 8yrs and miss it! That is what I pulled our Jayco with. Then the fuse board went on it. My mechanic and I called/searching junk yards from here to down south for one... Couldn't find one. Buying my F250 was my first experience in car buying. It taught me a lot "afterwards"...
I feel this "newer" V8 engine uses way more gas then my V10 ever did.
I think I'm getting the jiffy of what to look for.
The girls and I went test driving today.
We test drove a new F350, a Ram 3500.
Both new trucks drove freaking sweet!!!
Then test drove a used 2015 GMC 3500 HD Dually.... With 65K miles on it.
The GMC had a digital dash board. When I was at a dead stop and begin a take off. The digital oil gauge would move from 55 to 70 and then back to 55. Didn't see this on the other trucks. But, I did the walk around of the GMC and found body damage on it... It was a beautiful truck. Just very shady dealership...
My budget is $50K.
Tried posting the front end damage of GMC...
By the time I get new truck.. Will figure out how to post the pictures lmao!
