Looking to buy 2007 Ford F250 diesel....
Anyone have any experience with this model of truck? The owner says it will haul up to 15,500 pounds- we need one to haul up 13K for sure. It has 265 K miles & he's selling it at $12,800. Do you think...

Contrary to many of the opinions on here, the Ford 6.0 is a good engine...in 2007 model ;-). When ford introduced that engine in 2004, they had so many problems that people couldn't keep them on the road. 2005 wasn't much better either. 2006 saw drastic improvements, but still had some minor issues. You can google all the class action lawsuits against ford for this engine for more info. However, the 2007 version of the 6.0 was/is a great engine! They corrected all the major problems with the motor and made it something that is easy to own. But alas, right about the time they got it right, new emission standards had to be implemented and thus the 6.4...then the 6.7. I've not seen a problematic 6.0 make it for 265K miles. I think the price is a tad high, but I wouldn't have any hesitations on the engine. Problem with the high miles is not the engine, but everything else on the truck...trans, shocks, axles, bearings, etc.
If you want to be real serious, get the older 7.3. But good luck finding one. I would sell you my 7.3 for the same price as the 2007 you're looking at...and not a penny less ;-)
