the newer the better. miles not so much
4x4 will add 5 to 7 thousand.
base model (work truck) much cheaper then top shelf package. save 2 to 4 thousand.
reason I purchased a work truck last summer.. 2012 F 250"XL" GAS with 140,000 miles, a Fleet/Lease with paperwork. but my trailer is under 9,000 pounds loaded.
but my needs are NOT your needs
and remember. some trucks have hour meters... could be important.
mine had 4,100 running hours for 138,000 miles
and 600 idle hours.
so it was a Freeway truck. and did little towing... as hitch had little use/wear.
also get the truck WITH the factory Tow package.
and you WANT a diesel
