2500 class truck

[twall13]

Also resale value was previously mentioned. I purchase my 07 with 140k for $20k cash. I sold it with just shy of 193k for $22,500. (NOT GONNA HAPPEN WITH A GASSER)

I sold a 2019 F-250 gasser for $7k more than I paid for it after owning it for 2 years and adding an additional 20k to the odometer.... Never say never...

The problem has never been with cummins, its the rest of the truck that is garbage. Owned a 2020 that I bought brand new and had nothing but problems.

I am pretty sure the only reason anyone sells a Dodge with a Cummins is because they get tired of replacing rusted quarter panels with each oil change.

I traded my 2019 F250 in 2021 with 27k on it and only lost $2k from original purchase price, timing is everything, lol.

Mine has enough oil leaks, it can’t rust!

What a truck brought 2-3 years ago no longer applies in today’s market.
Resell was crazy during and slightly after Covid.

Good luck wading through all the B.S. in this thread! Especially from the gas owners stating the fuel mileage they are getting. Several are stating towing mileage better than I get with my 2013 DMax.

You didn't state how far your daily commute was, but that should be a factor if you're considering a diesel. Short trips are probably the reason for most of the problems that arise with modern diesels.

When I fill my 2021 F350 6,7 Powerstroke 48 gallon tank up with fuel and I’m not pulling a trailer it will read 900, sometimes 1000 miles to empty. It gets the same fuel mileage our 2024 Tacoma gets.

Another thing to consider is if you’ll tow in the mountains coming down grades, the gas trucks will never compete with the control and ability to rarely use your brakes which is a big plus on the diesels. Engine braking is huge imo.

Yes will be towing a lot in the mountains

I’m in sales and I am on the road a lot but I usually drive stop for 1-2 in town then go to another stop I also go see account that are overnight trips plus all the hunting and recreating so I’m in my truck a ton! but I’m driving 30k plus miles a year

Man it’s hard to digest all the info, everyone makes a good point for their opinion for sure
I am leaning towards a diesel but man I am concerned with getting a used one and having some catastrophic failure and a huge repair bill but would really like the better towing capability and better mileage

What years do I look at for ford 2500 or 3500?

I have a F350 Tremor diesel. Love it. Do I need it, no. I put a 60 gallon tank in it to replace the stock one. Having 1100 miles of range is awesome.

My buddy had a F250 with the 7.3 gas. Always told me the diesel is dumb unless pulling all of the time, gas is cheaper, yada, yada.

He started towing a car hauler at times. Promptly traded in his truck for the same thing with a diesel
