Good dealers in Houston or Dallas w/ F250s

Looking for reputable dealers in either city with a good selection of used F250s. My '06 was recently stolen in New Orleans. I work for Southwest Airlines. It would be easy for me to hop on a plane to come get one. Selection here is sparse.

You can't swing a dead cat in Houston w/o hitting an F250. Good market for a consumer as generally most larger dealers will have a pretty good selection.

That said, at my last job we were buying the company trucks from Tommy Vaughn Ford. No affiliation, but they seemed to be well-stocked.

Thanks for the responses. I'll check out the Houston dealer. Only a 5 hour drive away.

Anyone familiar with American Auto Brokers in San Antonio? I normally wouldn't buy from off-dealers but they have a good BBB rating and a good eBay rating.

What are your specs? I.e. Color, 6.0, cc LWB, cc swb

If you find one in Houston you like, I can go hook up my AE and inspect it before you fly out and buy it.

Thanks for the offer. I'm looking for an '06-'07 6.0L, CC, 156, FX4. Color isn't a determining factor as long as it's clean.

Other than Ford dealers can you recommend any other places to look in Houston?

Texas Direct Auto is usually a good place to look, but I just looked and they only have the newer 6.4 and 6.7 trucks in stock at the moment.

Here are a few near me on Autotrader:

Find Your Car: Used Ford F250 Listings Near Spring, TX 77389 - AutoTrader.com

Let me know if you see one you like and I'll go look at it and drive it, if it's close by.

This one is right down the road from me and sticks out like a sore thumb, in a good way: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...Index=15&Log=0

tommie vaughn ford is a good choice, and there is a ford dealership tat is very FTE-friendly. McRee ford in alvin. they're south of houston, and the manager knows about the FTE forum. i heard they may give discounts to us folks, but don't quote me on tat. tats way i heard in the grapevine. good luck!

Thanks for the replies. I was fortunate enough to find one at a Chrysler dealer very close to me. 1-owner '07 Lariat CC/SB FX4 w/ 85,000 miles. Ran the Torque Pro App on it and all the numbers look good. I should be picking it up tomorrow.
