New Truck

Going to be in market soon for a newer truck. Definitely going to be a F350 Crew Cab 4X4 SRW with under 100k on the odometer. I want good honest advice, opinions, feedback about what year and motor to get. Should I get a 2008-2010 with the 6.4? Or spend a few more bucks and get a 2011 to about a 2013 with the 6.7? Would like to stay under 30 grand but would go to the mid to upper 30’s for a 2011 or newer. I do plan on doing the deletes/ bulletproofing and having it tuned. Which motor/trans combination is the best, most powerful, durable, and reliable with those mods?

I saw a 2008 with 5K miles on it at a dealership last month for 29K. Dually, v-10 with 4.10 rear end.

30K is good money....but it depends what part of the country you are to determine if it's enough money for what you are asking about.

I looked at a 2012 F350 6.7 Black crew loaded down and they were asking 50K. I could have got it for under 45K, but it had 68K miles on it.

Couldn't justify spending over 40K on a used truck. Around here they sell quick used for good money.

I had and 08 & 2010 F350 6.4 a loved them. I prefer the loud diesel over the quite ones.

Good luck in your search!
