Need experiential advise
I want to purchase a used 2001/2002 F250 with a 5.4L gas. I want to tow, occasionally (<10 times per year and no greater than 150 miles one way) and/or a TT (5K weight) up to 800 miles one way <2 times per year).
Upon reading comments I'm getting nervous about this combo. Do I want to upgrade to a diesel? If so, 6.0 okay? I've been told that diesel's are not reliable and very expensive to fix.
Please give me some advice before I make a mistake.
Thanks.
Don
P.S. If anyone wants to call me I can be reached on (561) 968-9330. Thanks again.

Welcome aboard dkauts! I can't answer your question. This forum is for general conversation and not tech talk. If you go to the Super Duty/Heavy duty forum and post your question you should get some replies. There are a lot of people with plenty of experiance that can help.
Unfortunately, I'm not one of them, but I sure do take advantage of all the good info out there and I do manage to get a word in once and a while.
I see by your area code that you are in the Ft Lauderdale area. Florida has it's own FTE chapter. You should go visit the Florida Forum. You might find out that your next door neighbor is a member.

From the Forums home page where it says
GENERAL
General Conversation
User announcements
scroll down and look at all the forums
Newer Light Trucks
Super/Heavy Duty
Keep going and you'll see all types of truck and engine forums. Eventually you will come to the Club FTE forum and after that you will see the different states. Once you click on Florida you will see more forums. Carlene, the Florida Forum moderator lives in the Ft Lauderdale area and if you introduce yourself other members of the chapter will give you a big howdy.
