Background: I have a 2005 F250 diesel 4x4 with 65k on it. It is in relatively in good shape. I have a gravel drive and the truck sits out there in Ohio weather. The underside has some surface rust and the calipers have been replaced a couple of times. Other then that, no issues. I am retiring this summer and we are planning on traveling the country for a few months with our travel trailer.
My question is should I take my 2005 and take a chance it may die in the middle of nowhere or should I make my one time life investment and buy another new diesel? DO the new diesels have better mileage and what did you pay for a newer f250 diesel 4x4 with a crew cab? Thanks in advance
I had a 05 F250 FX4 CC with 170k miles and traded it for a '12 F250 FX4 CC with the 6.7 psd. My new truck makes 2-3 mpg better fuel economy and pulls a lot stronger.
