I had a 2005 F250 with the 6.0 that I bought new. It was in perfect condition both mechanically and physically at about 120,000 miles. It had however left me stranded twice while towing and was giving indications of an impending breakdown. I seriously considered taking it to Arizona to have it bulletproofed at a cost of $10,000 to $15,000, way less than the price of a new truck! Ultimately I decided that I had lost all confidence in the engine and I, and especially my wife, wouldn’t ever be comfortable traveling with it anymore. I bought a extremely low mileage 2 year old truck and have not for even a minute regretted my decision. Now I enjoy the journey to my destination instead of worrying about breaking down. A bonus was much improved pulling power and the exhaust brake amongst other modern amenities.
