Truck Sold
Well folks it's time to move on. I sold/traded my 2006 F-350 listed in my sig last Friday. She was a fine truck with only 40,000 miles. I tried to private sell but not one offer. Dealer gave me $25,750. I've have a company vehicle, 2010 F-150 supercab for over two years now. Unlimited miles and a company gas card, etc. The F-350 was seeing less than 5000 miles/yr mainly towing 26' snowmobile trailer in the winter. Turbo rusted/stuck different times while I owned it.
Also selling my wifes 02 Ford Explorer with 160,000 and putting her in a 2013 Ford Screw, ecoboost, 4x4, Platinum, max tow. My company vehicle is a 2x4 so I'll be using the Platinum 6+ times/yr to pull snowmobile trailer. I estimate it to weigh 7000# when loaded with 4 sleds. Not expecting the ecoboost to pull like the tuned 6.0 but it should do just fine. Although Mike a 5 Star has released some solid tow tunes for the ecoboost.

Good luck with that 3.5L...I've heard some good things about it. And a buddy of mine with one in a MKS says it's quite the powerhouse and good fuel mileage. Though that isn't exactly a pick-up truck he's driving.

I was asking $29,000 and would have come down from there a little, not one bite! The F350 was a crew cab with an 8' box. Wife did not like driving it as a daily driver, hard to manuever. Luckily I owned the truck so I have that cash + some to put down on the F150.

$25750 to be exact. Truck was very clean, like new. I was quite suprised that I received no offers on the truck. Listed on numerous websites/craiglist and sat by a heavily traveled road for weeks. Not one call or offer, strange!

Not really all that strange. Just think about all the newbies that come on here and ask if they should get a 6.0 despite all the horror stories that they have heard about it.

A lot of people, myself included wouldn't trade it for the newer computer program dependant diesel engines they sell today.
