Yes and no,Wanna sell the 20s
Those Fords with 7.3 diesels were tough trucks. I drove one 6 days a week for 2 years working for a restaurant repair company. Never had an issue for a single problem from day one to 160k. It had 2 sets of brake pads. I bought the Dodge 5.9 Cummins turbo and still driving it now after 31 years. I’ll never buy a Dodge product even though the engine and transmission has been great. All the trim and parts around it were falling apart after ten years. New trim pieces, seats, mirrors, brakes, blower motors, head liner, etc… Sound like small items but stuff that should not crack and took too much time away from doing business. Those things rarely happen to a Ford In the first 20 years. My truck was produced in Mexico and the Cummins put into the truck at a USA facility.I bought a used 2016 F350 with 6.7. Hands above my old 1997 7.3 F250 that blew a head gasket at 535K. Really? Only 535K!
One great feature is the 6 speed tranny. It will back an 8K trailer over a curb like it’s not even there. The 4 speed F250 had to have a running start! I hear the new Fords have a 10 speed!
One bad feature is stiff suspension. I’ll never buy another F350. F250 is plenty for my requirements.
The 20” tires that came from factory with it made it a bear to get in and out of. I found a set of 2020 18” take off rims and tires and changed them. Makes getting in and working from tail gate sooo much better. Hey I’m short!
yeah we have a 2500 Cummins already. I dont need another 3/4 ton truck since I have to go into Charlotte regularly and our 2500 wont fit in parking garages.
I know a guy with a 5.9. Truck has 350,000 on it, engine has had front and rear seals only. Rest of the truck is literally falling apart and has been for yearsThose Fords with 7.3 diesels were tough trucks. I drove one 6 days a week for 2 years working for a restaurant repair company.

My truck speakers went out in 5 years. Radio in seven. Headliner trim 10 years. Headliner started falling at about 7.I know a guy with a 5.9. Truck has 350,000 on it, engine has had front and rear seals only. Rest of the truck is literally falling apart and has been for years
So I contacted a few dealers and the "market adjustment" scam is real. They were advertising their lowest price. Messaged them and then they tacked $6k market adjustment on top along with an $899 doc fee.

Would you share their name?found a dealer that doesn't have the market adjustment and is willing to sell under MSRP
Just a FYI, dealers do NOT have to honor the “tread lightly” or “family and Friends” or “X plan” pricing, and from what I understand many of them aren’t right now (due to inventory).
Everett Chevy in Morganton. Also, leister Chevy in Lillington didn’t charge a market adjustment t.Would you share their name?
After the first of the year I'm going to look at the new Colorado.
Thanks! I don’t commute back and forth to Charlotte like I did so I sold the daily and just drove the old farm truck. You know what I mean about having a backup truck when you have horses (and a company that requires big trucks)I’m pretty happy that I was able to score a diesel version. Makes things so much easier when towing. I know some of y’all can feel me when I say trying to get a truck and trailer into a busy gas station is right up there with sitting in bumper to bumper traffic.Nice score Chris! I think that you'll enjoy it.
3.0 duramax - it has something with the towing camera but not sure what.Congrats! 3.0 duramax or the full size?
Edit - also does it have that cool stitch-together rear image for towing so it looks like your trailer is invisible?
How much is it rated to tow?3.0 duramax - it has something with the towing camera but not sure what.
Never mind, found it: 12,900 with max tow package, impressive.How much is it rated to tow?
More details?Add a stelth module and drop all the lag...be happy and the dealership will never know about it!
More details?
