Going forward with John's sage advice, I would say that using CARFAX would be a good idea, as well. I did on that used 2002 I bought.

If you see anything suspicious in the vehicle’s history, run away.

With all the Katrina stuff that's gone on, plus the more recent flooding along the northeast, there'll be plenty of SALVAGED vehicles on the market looking for hapless buyers to swoop in and give premium bucks for something that the laws should never have allowed to be put back on the streets.

And if it’s possible, report the scummy seller to the authorities.

P.S.

As for brands? Just wait a while. And especially since you mentioned it, you‘ll be hearing from the other TVs’ owners, I’m sure.

But right now, I think the F-350’s got the others beat in GCWVR at 23,500 pounds.

RichFAA, I believe, has mentioned the year the new specs come into play. If memory serves, I think it’s 2008 when Ford will come out with a 6.4L engine.
