Well I am a noob here myself. Not a noob to diesel trucks though. 28 years of Ford Truck experience. Let me know if I can help you.

 

[Meniacal_Mark]

All kidding aside, like others said it all depends on what your use will be for the truck.

First thing to know about ownin a diesel is knowin how to spell diesel. I before E except after C.

She's been out of school for 13yrs. For all we know she is 26 with a 13yr kid. Haha. Or she could be a dude with a girl as an avatar trolling. Lol

Welcome and enjoy.

She said a daily driver mom mobile. That being said she did not mention if it will be used offfoad, to tow, occasionally race?

 

[Meniacal_Mark]

Exactly, nobody uses their truck for "daily driving only"...

On a serious note, if you can afford a 6.7. If not a 6.4 that has been bullet proofed. Egr delete, dpf delete, tuner, cold air intake.

Crew cab, short box, tri fold box cover, a color that is easy to keep clean. 33-35"x18's. Fuel milage tune.

Find a nice, well taken care of truck from a member if possible. There is some really nice 6.4 done up.

Welcome

Welcome from Kansas... If I had to do my 6.4 purchase all over again I would look for a low mileage truck that has been tuned and deleted irregardless of voiding the warranty. 09 and 10 trucks seem to have better luck than 08's. The prices are beginning to come down for a well taken care of xlt package, which is still very nice compared to the older interiors. Good luck with whatever you choose!

7.3 = no breakdowns with kids

I would have to agree with a few of the guys or gals posts and ask what is the budget here before sniffing each others rear ends for another 8 pages lol

I'd like to keep it around 15-20 g. Don't want all my money tied up in a payment in case I need to add to whatever I get.

Should be able to find a dam nice truck with that budget.

live life full throttle

Just a suggestion as well. Why not cruise around to a few dealers. Test drive a 7.3, 6.0, and 6.4 to see what you like if you haven't already. And also test the 6.7 even if it's a little out of the budget. I have seen a few 6.7s under 20k but with some miles packed on.

Thats a nice truck you may be able to get for 25. If you wanted a done up truck.

Sorry to disappoint, but yep, I must have forgotten my 'hi I'm the no-so-new girl around here' post. LOL

...and now someone is cringing realizing they've read advice I've posted and actually agreed with it...

[swinky]

Already studded 6.0 and call it a day. Lariat or king ranch 05-07. I would NEVER buy a 6.4 if 15-20 was all I wanted to spend.
