I'm also in the market and I have to do it this year for tax reasons. I can answer all of that if it will help me. I kind of gave up on buying new and have been looking for a year old or so. I'm wondering if waiting a month will help me? It looks like the economy and pile up of trucks is starting to show and reduce prices out of need to move em?
I've been saying that since 2020, lol. I'm still waiting for a like new F250 Super Duty for $40,000.
They are out there.

Clearly an insider.
Yeah I will definitely have leather. I'm kind of spoiled on the trim level. I plan on getting one a year old. I just don't want to buy another new one and lose 10k when I drive off the lot. I don't need to finance so I figure I can find a good deal. I have a guy who can find what I want at the sale in Dallas and then I just pay him a few grand for getting it. That's the way I'm leaning but if I could find a great deal on a top trim level one I'd be fine with that too. It's really just about the best deal. I will drive it for at least 7 years, I always do. My current one is now turning 8 and will become my work truck so that's how I will probably keep doing it with my personal one.
I like it a lot. Plenty of power to tow my 12,000lb 5th wheel. The roads in Shreveport are horrible, but the drivers are worse, but I feel as safe as I can be and the steering and suspension are tough. It's a Lariat, middle of the pack, as far as extras. I had to have the AC seats. Cool nuts are a good thing
. The mileage isn't too bad, if I can stay out of stop and go traffic.
Yeah. I love big gas motors. So reliable. My v-10 RV got 10 if you drove nice.I like it a lot. Plenty of power to tow my 12,000lb 5th wheel.

I actually get 14-16 driving to work if I hit most lights green, but 13-14 is usual, in town. It's 13.5 miles one way. Towing the camper, I get 7-10, depending on the hills. Been trying to get up to Broken Bow, but the state park is always booked months in advance. Oh, yea, the Godzilla engine sounds awesome when I stick my foot in it, but the gas gauge literally drops, visibly.
I’m only getting 15-16 in this half ton Ram with the hemi. Sad really.
No too bad. I had a 2014 F150, 3.5L Ecoboost, that was totaled out for me, that got about that, when drove it easy, in town. On the highway, it got around 17mpg, at 75mph.
I've got a 2022 F250 Power Stroke.....got it to pull a RV, no longer have the RV ...........just finished a 2700 mile trip............19.45 MPG average..........great truck......
And ice cream! Baller.
Our ride is pictured below. Color is midnight metallic black. Has blue sequence in the color.
8.7mpg is ok when it's paid for!Our ride is pictured below. Color is midnight metallic black. Has blue sequence in the color.
From what I understand is that it's possible on some 2022 and 2023 models with the new V6 twin turbo there was a step missing in engine assy or something like that and metal chips could've gotten into the motor and if they did... it wipes out the main bearings. If it happens Toyota will replace it with a brand new engine. It says the problem isn't widespread. Ours is a 2024. So I'm not worried about it.
In the background of that pic is the 2004 4Runner. that has like a 130k and has the 4.7 V8 in it which is a really good engine. I won't get rid of that thing. I'll drive it till it falls a part. Same with the 2010 Corolla which has now over 200k on it. Other than routine maintenance on all of our Tonka Toys..... zero issues. Like I said in my one post... our oldest son has our 2014 Tundra and that has like 175k on it and again routine maintenance stuff and zero issues.
Speaking of F150's... the other pic is of my 77 F150. It's rust free... and not getting rid of that either. No computer stuff on that one. You want 4wd... pull a lever.. you want the heat on... move a lever... put the windows down... rotate the handle! Only complaint is the 460 only gives me 8.7mpg!
You bet brother!8.7mpg is ok when it's paid for!
Handsome color!!!Im on my second 7.3 SuperDuty... 2022 and a 23. 23 is "better" in that the interior is a little nicer than the 22. I like the heads up display and the seats are nicer(I have the max recline seats which are platinum seats without the massage function), the all digital dash is better. The transmission programming in the 23+ is better than the 22. The ECU in the 23 is supposed to have the latest and greatest to keep oil pressure a bit higher at idle(a source of the cam/lifter issue some 7.3's have had that idle a lot like in ambulances). The rear axle in the 23 is an 11.5" vs. 10.5" ring gear with larger axle tubes...is it an upgrade over the tried and true Sterling 10.5??? thats TBD, but I havent read anything bad. The front is not a "super60" anymore supposedly, its a Dana something... I think just about the same, but I dont know.
I think 22, 23, and 24 are going to be the sweet spot years in the SuperDuty lineup. The 25 order guide was just released and they lost a ton of stuff or are pushing you into higher trim packages to get stuff the Lariat used to get. No more leather in the Lariat(I know the Lariat "leather" isnt 100% leather anyway), you get ActiveX which is like a vinyl/cloth combo or something... Gotta go KR or PLatinum to get leather...
You bet brother!
Plus I get a lot of thumbs up when I'm driving it as well!
Oil Rig Kid walks in 2 SECONDS later buys it.
boy were on the same page!
