I need a Superduty!!!
Just found out that my father in-law bought a 05 f350 this past week in Alberta while working out there. It's a dark green supercab 4X4 with only 57,000klm. Now with my dad's 05 f250 and the brother in-laws 03 f350, I'm the only one in my family without a superduty.

Id buy a 6.4 over a 6.0...
If ford started throwing cummins in their superduties, no other truck would get bought at all. Even the chevy guys and their duramaxes would convert!

I would buy the Superduty / Cummins combo in a flash!
I would never get another 6.0. As mentioned, skip to the 6.4 and have the nicest truck cab on the market.
Once you drive one of these diesels with a programmer, everything else on the road becomes road kill!!!

I was always leary of computer contolled diesels, but I will admit on a day to day workload they produce alot more then the older diesels. And its stupid how easy it is to get a few hundered more horses.

I have been trying to decide on a truck lately as I'm probably going to do something next spring. I would actually like a 6.4l but I only drive 10min to work, but those small trips are hard on a diesel. I have thought about getting a beater to drive to work and around the city and just keep the diesel for pulling the trailer and longer trips but that is another vehicle to license and maintain. I have thought about a superduty with the V10 but a salesmen told if you don't plan on keeping it for a long time not to get one, because they have bad resale value. I didn't think they were to bad but you don't see that many used V10's around.

The V-10's are good engines. It's pretty much big block power with small block fuel economy. I personally don't really care about resale as you pretty much lose anyways. I know a guy that picked up a 2005 F-250 loaded with 90 000 km for $10 500.

i'd like to think that my next truck will be a SD with either the 6.2 gas, or the v10... resale will be 6-8g less than a similar truck with the diesel. funny how that works...it cost you 6 or 8g less to purchase it in the first place.
that v10 grin is just as wide as the diesel grin so i've heard...
