I'm in the market for a new (to me) 4x4 truck. Has to be 3/4 or 1 ton. Will be used here on the farm and pulling a mowing trailer during the warm season. Have a ford 6.0 diesel but it keeps pooping on me. I have a 5.4 f250 rwd that does the job. Although SLOWLY.
I have owned a f350 powered by a 2v V10 in the past. Loved that truck. These are hard to find without a ton of miles and riding at stock ride height. And a 3v V10 is almost a mythic creature. So is a manual trans.
I've been considering a 96+ vortec 7.5 or an 8.1 chevy.
Also have considered an OBS 460 Ford. But would need to be a 90 or newer i think.
What are yall's opinions on these big gas engines? I'm pretty sure i don't want to consider a dodge v10. Any recommendations.
I'm looking for the right deal on whatever i get. But i hate buying something to find out had I gotten a year model newer i would be more satisfied.
I'm trying to stay under $8,000.
Thoughts on a Chevy 6.0?
