I am really leaning towards the 2011 6.2l with 116,000 on it. if i take care of the truck, only put about 5k on it a year what do you think i can get out of it as far a mileage goes?Re: Need tow vehicle adviceI figured fully loaded with the family also i will be around 9k. Should i be too concerned about the 100,000 miles on the trucksRe: Need tow vehicle adviceForgot to mention, almost all of the trucks i can afford have about 100,000 miles on them.Need tow vehicle adviceLet me lay out my use first then tell you what i am looking at: I just bought a 2011 Coachman Catalina 32foot travel trailer that weighs 7400lbs dry weight. We are a family of 5. I need a truck that can easily pull it on both flat ground and in the Appalachians if i chose to camp there as well, since we are in North Carolina. We will use the truck probably once a month and maybe pull the camper 4-6 times per year. I am looking at the following vehicles 2006 F250 6.0 Diesel 2008 F250 w/5.4l Gas 2008 F250 V10 gas 2008 F250 6.4 diesel 2011 F250 6.2 Gas 2012 Dodge 2500 6.0 Gas I am leaning towards the 2011 as i can get it for under $15k. I know diesel is the best for pulling, but i wasn't sure what the opinions are since i wont use it very much and will only put about 5k per year. I appreciate any and all feedback you can offer.Re: Towing AdviceThey also make a v10. I wonder if that may be the best option since i will only use it once a month if that.Re: Towing AdviceWell he wants to keep. What are your thoughts on a 2008 with a 6.4 diesel? Is it better then the 6.0Re: Towing Advicei would be buying it from my brother. He never uses it.Re: Towing Advicei googled it, but it looks like after digging it can pull 11k. I think i can get it for $7500, with 50,000 miles on it in great shape. Should i do it?Re: Towing Advice2006 f350 diesel
