I am looking at some used 05-07 Ford F 350 Duals, 6.0 diesel, with around 200,000 miles, just to pull my TT and assorted camping gear. We expect 6-7 trips per year, 100-300 miles trips. I am fully aware of the 6.0 problems but hey, if it's running good at 200 thousand the bugs have all been felt with is my thinking. These are in my price range and there are not many Dodge or GM trucks as Fords in my market. What say u ?

Funny you say that about the problems being addressed. My BIL called me a couple years ago and asked me the same question about a 2005 6.0 that had all the upgrades done. I told him the same thing you are thinking." If its got that many miles on it then it has surely been bulletproofed and should be a good truck." Well a about 3 months later he had to drop 5k in it. He now has 2 injectors and a couple glow plugs that need to be replaced. He just drives it 30 miles a day to work. Just sayin.
