[QUOTE="nikki, post: 137983, member: 18126"] We went Powerstroke shopping last year - and got a '00 F-250 Powerstroke Lariat 4x4 Extended Cab Long Bed. I wold DEFINATELY recommend spending the extra $4k for the Powerstroke!! Ours gets 10-14 mpg pulling a pretty heavy 24 foot enclosed trailer and it gets 16-20 mpg empty. From what I hear - a V10 gets 4-6 pulling and 8-12 empty. And around here - diesel is cheaper than gas at most places, too. It was funny - when truck shopping, we ran across quite a few used '99 and '00 V10's and NO used Powerstrokes. The Powerstroke will become cheaper to own after 100k miles because you will save a LOT of money in gas (at $1.50 a gallon and a 8 mpg average - 100k miles will cost $18,750; at $1.50 a gallon and a 14 mpg average - 100k miles will cost $10,715 = $8,035 savings), but spend more for oil changes for the diesel, but - most importantly (to me) - you will get more miles out of a diesel after 100k and a much higher re-sale value if you sell the two at any time - especially at or above 100k miles. Here is my Goods and Bads of the two: [b]Powerstroke:[/b] Good - mpg, torque, 100k mile warranty, should last a good 150k-300k miles, MUCH better re-sale value!! Bad - costs $4k more, expensive oil changes, need to plug in overnight during the winter, sometimes hard to find diesel late at night on the way to a track :confused: [b]V10:[/b] Good - $4k less, cheaper oil changes, more HP, more get up and go Bad - GAS HOG, harder to re-sell, miles hurt more than miles on diesel, may not last as long as diesel [/QUOTE]
