I have owned a 2013 and 2015 F350. I loved them both, but the 2017 is a major upgrade in technology, styling and comfort. It also happens to have a little bit more power. It's worth every penny to me.

Looking very promising. Ford bought a 2012 back last month with over 800k miles on it.

I assume that's rhetorical since mine has only lasted 1900 miles so far, so I have no idea.

I sure hope it does though. I believe the 6.7L platform has proven to be quite reliable and many early model year trucks are pushing high miles these days.

Yes it was. Sold my 99 7.3, had it for 19 years and was a great truck. Probably like you I have researched and researched and I finally decided to pull the trigger. wish you many trouble free miles with your new rig.
