I only know that when it came time to replace my totaled 2005 Ford F-250 with the (gasp!) 6.0 diesel, I had a devil of a time trying to find a replacement at a good price. It took me three months and a search across seven states until I found my 2008 Ford F-250. Even with an engine that has its share of problems, the 6.0 trucks were still fetching $20,000 retail. That would have made it worth half the purchase price new last October. I'm happy with my Fords, thank you. The only reason I don't have a Ford car is that they don't sell diesel cars in the U.S. So all of the other cars in my family fleet are Volkswagen Jetta TDIs.
