2001 vs 2002 F350 7.3L dually
I'm still shopping for a used truck. Since this will be a major investment for me, I'm being really picky.
Right now I'm looking at a 2001 and a 2002 F350. Both are 2wd duallies with 7.3L diesel, automatic. Both are crew cabs and both have about the same miles (64K).
The question: if the price is about the same for either truck, is there anything new and wonderful about the 2002 that would make it a clear choice over a seemingly identical 2001? Any upgrades made by Ford that year that I need to know about?
Thanks!

Thanks for the 2 cents....can I bill you for it?
I did consider 4x4 but my intended use for the truck is to haul a large camper down the highway. The GVWR is the same for 2wd as 4x4, but a 4x4 weighs about 1000 lbs more (I've personally put both on the scales). That's a 1000 lbs that could go into the bed (where I need it). I've lived in this area all my life and I've driven vehicles (front and rear drive) in all kinds of weather. I've never owned a 4 wheel drive and I have never felt I've missed anything (except excessive fuel consumption, tire wear, repair expenses).
