Some used F350's with the 7.3 gas engine are hitting the market, they will be from haulers so you might be looking at 100k+ miles on a 2020 truck, the engine is a relatively easy swap out to a new one if needed.
Say wut?
I suppose there's some hotshot haulers who are not intelligent enough to get a diesel, and maybe thats why they would be selling a 1 year old truck with 100k miles on it (1 week to realize they made the wrong decision, 51 weeks to do something about it type of scenario) but they will be rare as hens teeth and still not in the OP's budget most likely, IF one is even to be found. And an engine "swap" while "easy" to some is certainly not economical, nor even remotely needed on a new truck with only 100k. If it was it would also not be an economical decision.
OP has $15-20k TOPS per his own post to spend on a truck.
May as well suggest he look for a 6.7 power stroke for $20k. That would be slightly less un-realisitc.
