That's good and I always wondered about the hype behind that year truck being a lemon. I never knew anyone that had one but now I do. Thanks.

Yeah I test drove a new one in 2006 and almost bought it but I got cold feet when I read the reviews about the 6.0L. That was when I signed up for this website. Then my friend with the transmission shop said his neighbor got the dealer to take back the 6.4L because it was shooting flames out the tailpipe and I decided to wait again. Fast forward 6 years and I bought the 6.7L last year. Been super happy with it so far.

A 2001 Jeep Cherokee and towed our boat with it. We were saving money to buy a house. Thanks god for interest rate dropping to what they are now.

Yeah we bought it 3 years ago and after remodeling we started thinking of traveling and that is why we bought the truck a year ago. I'm trying to decide if we should buy a 5th wheel or regular trailer.

I have a good friend with an 07 F250 with the 6.0. He's had it tuned mildly since day 1, prob has 70,000 on it and never an issue. He has had some repairs but not the big ones everyone talks about. Last week he finally had the motor beefed up with the head studs and whatever else everyone does with that bulletproof kit.

It's a real nice truck, not the powerhouse motor we have, but it's also not nearly as complicated. Those trucks look great, sound great, and really have it all except the modern stuff. Good power and good economy too.
