I have owned a 1999 F550 Powerstroke F550 6x6 automatic XLT two car carrier,alu 19' bed,self adj. Link air suspension, for 6 years now and have done things with that truck that which have amazed me.
All along getting 12mpg empty(12.5k lbs) or 10mpg fully loaded (20k).
Never wanted for more power.Empty,it flows with traffic just fine.Even lightly loaded.
Using my work tow truck for interstate travel requires too many regulations to be followed,so it's back to the trailer for long hauls,but with changes.
I tried a 2001 F350 dually 6x6,but it was just to...bulky to use when not towing.Got great mileage though (15-20)
So,I recently bought a 2001 Powerstroke (7.3L big block), F250, std cab (no kids and the Wifey does not attend races), long bed (38gal tank vs. 23 gal) 2wd. (its only for towing in the summer) tow package,3:73 open diff. auto,(would have prefered a stick but oh well) with no "extras" (other than A/C)
SCT tuner tow mode ,Amsoil filter,free flow exhaust. 525ft.lbs of grunt.
for $9k less than I just got for My F250 Lariat 4x4 5.4 gas Bubba pickup. I had to do the deal. Even though it was a gorgeous truck..
I'm working on lowering the rear and using air ride as well on the "new" PSD Superduty.
Just your basic hauler...
...................and....my own creation of a paint job.
I LOVE building models that have a use when you're done..
Trailer will be a custom Renegade Aero all alu 20' custom interior with bunks,storage etc.
I'm waiting for a certain one at a local dealership to go on sale as a leftover...
cuz I am cheap.
He's dropped about $2k since first negotiations...
As another option,I know where I can get a 6k. mile 2006 Dodge 2500 SLT 2wd. Cummins, stick,std cab,long bed, A/C,pw,pl,cruise,single cd,alloys,tow package,for $20k,plus $1k to ship.
Nice trucks.Rugged,dependable if equipped properly.
I could then make the 01 F250 a spare.
I'm In the haggle-ing stage...
as usual...
