V-10 vs PSD
I know nobody likes to go here but I need help with a decision.
I currently own a 2000 SD250 V-10 CC SWB 4WD Lariat. LOVE the truck, love the V-10......except when Im pulling my 33' Fifth wheel. Ford says my tow rating is 10,500 and my trailer weighs 7800 yet it feels like I am driving with the parking brake on when I hit any incline. The other factor is the 5 mpg I get while towing. Now, my dilemma is I only tow maybe 10% of the time. I know how awsome the PSD is at towing. If you guys had a chance to trade the 2000 V-10 for a 2002 PSD for the same payment, would you? I am planning a trip from MI to the Keys in 2 weeks and need some advise.
Thanks,
Ranger

well IMHO.. go for the diesel... your fuel mileage will be better when towing and I am sure even when not towing ..
you will have a new truck with new warrienties
and your payments that are not a problem for you now,I presume,are no trouble and stay the same..
so you see as far as I see it you will be getting a new truck for nothing more than what you pay now and a more powerful and fuel efficeintg one too
go for it
