I just bought me a new-to-me truck. 2002 F350, 7.3 diesel, SWR, crew cab, long bed. It has 260k miles.
I have spent the last couple of months looking at used trucks. I talked to the mechanic I use on all of my vehicles. His advice on diesel was a Dodge or a ford with the 7.3. Gas he liked GMs. According to him, a diesel is good for 500k miles. Gas, the less miles the better.
This is the advice I used when looking. It helped me eliminate a lot of trucks.
I used Autotrader.com and any other web site I could find to look.
Take your time, get your money together, and then hopefully like me a sweet deal will present it's self and you can jump on it.
Good luck and happy hunting.
