Which the Choose
I need a little help please help me choose one
1. 2011 F-250 Screw 4X4 Lariat 18452 miles 6.7l for 41995 this truck has the 20 inch wheels the side bed truck has the FX4 on it but i did nit see it on the Ford MSRP Sticker
2. 2012 F-250 Screw 4X4 Lariat 30000 miles 6.7l for 41200 This truck has a little more it also has fx4 package & the camper package 18 inch wheels lights on the roof (really do not care for this)
3. 2012 F-250 Screw 4X4 Lariat 58452 miles 6.7l for 39295 this one is loaded has Nav. 20 inch wheels
4. 2013 F-250 loaded KR but 6.2 gas 7500 miles 38999
# 1 & 2 are just about the same inside
# 3 is more of everything
# 4 is loaded like 3 but it a gas motor and it 4 X 2
My thinking it either #2 or #1 less miles and color and interior are the same.
my reason on one it 12 less miles but is right there with it.
Please anyone input

what are you using it for? do you NEED the crew cab? do you NEED a longer bed? do you NEED the diesel?
if you can't decide - start with a list of NEEDS and make sure each of them meet it - if they all do, then start looking at and comparing wants. whichever one meets all of your NEEDS and the most of your wants should be the obvious answer.

do you have to have a Lariat or KR? If you can live with an XLT you can get a new one for around the price of those used trucks. Out of those choices though I would pick number one mainly because of the miles. Run the stock 20" tires until they are shot then buy a set of 18's and sell the 20's.

I agree, used vehicle prices are just insane anymore and really aren't that great of a deal. I realize that some people want all the fancy stuff and there is nothing wrong with that, but I'm the type that would rather buy a new truck with less options than a loaded up used truck for the same price. When I ordered my truck last fall I built a lariat SC with the gas motor and MSRP was around $43k, so out the door that would even be less than the used ones listed above.

I have the 6.2L and 4.30 gears in my 4wd F250 and the best I've gotten is 14mpg on longer trips running with the cruise set at 58-60mpg. On the interstate running around 70 I get around 13mpg. Local short trip driving gets me around 11.5-12.5. Towing my 16ft enclosed trailer weighing 6000lbs I average 9.5mpg. All these are hand calculated numbers. I keep a log of every time I fill up and some day I'll get around to figuring total mileage since I bought the truck. I was told the 3.73 gears would net another 1- 1.5mpg, but since I was ordering the truck I decided to go for broke and get the low gears.
That's probably not the numbers you wanted to hear, but for a HD truck I'm happy with the results. I thought about getting a diesel, but with the type of driving I do I can't justify nor need a Diesel engine and knew the money I saved on the diesel option would buy a lot of gas. Plus I drive a diesel truck everyday for work and just don't want to mess with one on my free time.

If you need 4x4 then #4 is out but if you do not need 4x4 then #4 is the winner. My 2011 f-250 6.2 gas gets 14 mpg at 80 m/h with 3.73 rear end box loaded max weight. when i pull my 31ft trailer with box loaded i get 10 m/g in the mountians avg.
