I've got my eye out for something similiar . It goes without saying that the 7.3 is bullet proof and it will pull hell out of the ground. I'm lookin for a 2001-03 f250 crew cab 4x4 with the 7.3. I'm sick of Chevy they're junk.

I bet that would sell fast down here at 18k. Miles are good and it says "obo". As long as you want a dually with 4.11 gears. just don't do that shit where they are scamming for a money transfer

7.3L F350 here. What do you think is a good price range?

Here is one with SRW, I don't want the fifth wheel. I need 3500 pounds weight capacity in the bed for a slide-in camper though.

The dually with the 3.73 will get stuck in wet grass. If you don't need the dually then don't get it. 6 tires to buy and a 350 is higher on insurance. That price is high too.

And if you haul a big slide in often you might like the dually.

If you get one with lower miles like that its gona be high on price. I'd suggest looking at the prices of trucks in Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama. You'd be surprised. They're cheaper bc we are so poor down here. Also they're good used trucks with no rust. Fly down and drive it to Seattle and have it shipped over to AK.

Thanks Flint and Tripod. I may buy this truck just for summer use and store in winter. Will have to get a small Toyota truck for winter then. Don't want to have to service two engines though. That's why I got the 2007 F350 SRW. Just throwing ideas around.

The 3.73 will get better mileage, I would only get the 4.11 if the towing needs were extreme.

Services on 2 engines would still be cheaper than driving that 6.0. Ha ha!

If the 4.11s are a deal breaker - price out changing them over and offer that much less. He has best offer on the price - he's already willing to take less.


For comparison my 03 had 143k miles and they were asking 17 grand.

Sad but true. The 6.0 dog is locked up in their pen and they will look at it tomorrow. That dog breaks again and its toast.

I hate losing money though. I had a Toyota pickup for 17 years and always got me home. But your right.

Good hell. My wife really did get a deal on hers, then. I just hate that truck, so don't pay much attention to it. It's a 99 she bought 3 years ago, with 155K, and it was $9,400. I despise that fucking truck.

No way. Now that I know how much the replacement would cost me, it's staying. But I still hate it.
