Hi - was originally thinking to get a F250/350 4x2 gasser (for 5er towing), but the more I think about it I think I'll bite the $$ bullet and get a 4x4 diesel.? I hear the 4x2 big block V10 gasers are very hard to get rid of (also poor mpg).? IS that true?? Maybe that's evidenced by seeing roughy 10 diesels to every 1 gasser when I look at 3/4 and 1 ton trucks in dealer lots.
One other thing - I thought I read somewhere that all diesel engines will change in 2007 to only run the ultra low suplhur (ULS) fuel.? But I was told today (over phone by Ford dealer) that the 2007 Ford PSD engines are the same as the 2006's.? What's going on here?? However, I was told that the displacement of the 2008 PSD engine will change (although the salesperson didn't know if it will be the new ULS engine).? One would think that'd be a very hot topic right now among dealers, but apparently not so.? Anyway, my question is ---? I know it's not good to buy a new engine the first year it comes out, but I cannot really wait 2 years until the 2009's come out.? Would it be better to get a new 2006 or 2007, or else to get the 2008 new engine next summer when it comes out?? I can wait one year, just not two years.
Thanks
Gary?
