I am working with my brother-in-law on a project and need some
questions answered so here goes.

If your were getting a replacement 6.0 would you want.
Take into account what you use you truck for.
You can also just pick what you have now if your happy with it.

F250 SRW
F250 DRW
F350 SRW
F350 DRW
Excursion

In Texas you can register for the lower of your GVWR up to the highest of the load ratings of your tires, so F250 vs F350 doesn't really matter in SRW except that under 10,000# registration is cheaper.

I would be interested in a dually F250 though......

I like the F350 SRW CCSB that I currently have. It sets up higher than a F250 with the larger blocks and being single wheel and short bed it is easier to maneuver in a tight parking lot.

I've never seen one. I have seen a few CCSB dually trucks around, kinda goofy looking.

I really need a Van for what I do


My Lifted Truck Sucks

Don't get me wrong it will do it but I carrey 1000s of dollars in tools

So basically I have to pack the Cab and its an ACt of Congress to get a Passenger in it

Its hard to load Chop Saws and Table saws in it

Basically my truck SUCKS for what I do From a Ease of Use and Security Standpoint

The reason I am asking is the purchase and resale of repaired
trucks and what ones are the most wanted ones.

Depends alot on your local market.

I know Excursions have a higher resale than the trucks due to fewer made, less availability (at least around here)
