F350 Crew Cab with 5.4????????
I have found a great looking 2000 F350 Crew Cab truck with 52,000 miles for $18,500 at a local Ford dealer. I am unsure if it will have enough power when I put my truck camper on it an my boat on the hitch.What kind of mileage can I expect? Should I pay 4-5000 more for a Power Stroke? Here in Missouri diesel is at about $1.80/gallon and gas is around $1.55/gallon. I am estmating very little difference in operating costs.What do you guys think?????????

The operating costs for the PSD is higher (oil chages & fuel filters), as the diesel takes much more oil. I had an '01 F250 w/PSD and it got aprox. 22mpg w/o load and my '02 F150 w/5.4L gets aprox. 17mpg, but it doesn't have near the power of the PSD. Good luck with the choice, but I would think the 5.4L would be marginal for the F350, if you figure on doing much towing.
