If you think you can buy one and not have to work on it then you are misled. Most are beat 15 year plus trucks and everything around the motor is wearing out.

My dad's is still going good at 290k but the rest of the truck is worn out

I wouldn't say they have decent power

Buddy of mine has a 7.3 F250 and excursion. The motors themselves are fine but they needed external parts recently

Do you want a diesel to haul over 10,000 lbs or just to look cool?

Re: 7.3 opinions
Personally it isn't worth having a diesel if your not hauling with it. Not worth the extra expenses in fuel as a DD.
