2017 f350?

I'm looking at a 2017 F350 with 6.7 PSD, the ad said it runs on Biodiesel. Why only Bio? how difficult is it to find Bio, and how much more expensive??? What do we know about 6.7 reliability, issues? years to avoid? About 150k miles on it..

I bought a '17 F350 DRW to pull our camper. 4 yrs old and its been great so far. Only 33K miles with at least 10K of them towing. Just about all of #2 diesel has a percentage of bio fuel in it so its no problem. The 6.7 is a great engine even with the need for the adding of DEF fluid every so often. My engine is quiet and runs like a scalded ape considering the weight of the truck. Pulls our 17K pound camper easily and safely.

Sounds like a good truck. Check to see if emissions are all there and engine hours. You don’t want to buy a truck with 10k idle hours.
