Pick WinterDeere's next truck

[FullMetalBucket]

OP, is a used pickup to your spec from the South West desert states a realistic option?

Maybe browse online sites like Carvana

A friend just sent this he bought, 1929 Chevy wrecker. The first year for the Chevy six.

Man that’s crazy! 50K (plus tax) for a stripped reg cab 3/4 ton gasser….
Makes the $74K for the loaded crew cab diesel I was looking at seem cheap (and they would sell for considerably less than 74K sticker).
Ford gets a premium for their trucks, and they have less warranty.

The 250/350’s are steel right? Or are they aluminum now, too?

The Superduty trucks went to all aluminum in 2017. The F150 series got them two years earlier. If I'm remembering correctly the cabs in the F150 and Superduty are essentially the same now. Beds are different, and of course the drivetrain.

$74K for a loaded crew cab diesel is not something you'll find around northern Nevada. Here's an ad from the nearest Ford dealer (only car/truck dealership in 100+ miles in any direction so pretty much a monopoly). Be a cold day in h*ll before I'd pay this much for a pickup - but people do, so the prices keep going up.

There are 2 pickups here, both diesel and neither half ton so they won't fit your spec's. However, since we are all getting older and more likely to break something if we aren't careful...
I missed a step coming downstairs 3 weeks ago. Broke a couple bones in my left foot, cause that is what stopped my fall, by slamming it up against the wall in the corner of the staircase. I quickly learned just how much fun shifting gears is, when your left foot has 2 broken bones. Didn't help with the start and stop, but I sure am glad that I am proficient at floating gears with a manual tranny!
Driving yourself to the Doctor would be so much more fun with an automatic!
