I have the same truck 2013 f250 6.2 As my main work truck and I currently have 224,000 miles. And this truck easily tows twelve 12,000 pounds.. They make excellent work trucks. And you will not be disappointed as long as you change your Transmission fluid often and keep up on the maintenance..
Hey Gabe -- what a great find. That low mileage means just about EVERYTHING! It is the main indicator of the value for sure. I have found that driving like an OLD MAN whenever you can will seriously increase your mpg. Don't do it when you're in somebody's way but otherwise . . . Not only will your truck not be as stressed and last longer / need fewer repairs, but you will still get where you're going and be able to relax and enjoy the countryside and life in general more. Yes, just a few extra minutes with lower top speed and less acceleration will cost you a bit of time but ultimately save big on the time and money required for maintenance and fuel. Safer too! 😄 Thanks for your videos.
My buddy is a contractor and he bought a 2017 Cummins diesel crew cab long box with only 103,000 miles for $29,000. It had no options, since it was a forest ranger's work pickup. He bought it back in 2022.
Extremely reliable engine and trans combo. I work for a very large utility company that has thousands of those trucks, that idle all the time and get ran hard, they hold up never have problems. Excellent find
That's not a bad price for that low of miles. My co-worker bought a 1999 chevy silverado 1500 4x4 extended cab short box in 2021 for $15,000. It was in mint condition and only had 76,000 miles and those engines can go 360,000 miles. We gave him a hard time, but he said $15,000 is a lot cheaper than $76,000 for a brand new one.
At the coal mine we always bought chevy's as our fleet trucks, but in 2011 we started adding new f-250's to our fleet. They came from the factory with rear diff lock, so they can just claw through the mud. They are good trucks and I didn't have any problems with them, but our light vehicle mechanics told us that they do have differential issues. I am not a fan of you adding a supercharger. You have to remember that when you boost the horsepower, it will create a weak link down the line with the rest of your drivetrain. The most expensive weak link will obviously be your transmission, since it is at least $5000-$6000 to just get your transmission repaired. NOT replaced. Another thing with fords is that you have to remove the cab and drain the air conditioning for any minor maintenance like changing spark plugs. Most of us don't own a vehicle hoist to remove the cab. I'm sure it will be many miles down the road, before you have to do maintenace to that vehicle. The new chevy's have so many problems since they went to active fuel management in 2007. That is why my buddy tried a Dodge this time. Only time will tell if that was a good decision. We just wish that they would have kept making the early 2000's chevy's and fords.
Physically I’m 25… mentally… let’s not talk about that… plus I plan on having the truck for a long time in doing a lot of towing. And it may actually improve the fuel economy.
Ive been looking at those 6.2s it has enough guts to get what I need done and it seems those motors are pretty damn reliable. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though.

Thanks for the advice, sir!
Built Ford Tough. That year and 92-96 are my favorites! Besides of course the 70s body styles.

Sounds like a nice truck

Thanks for the comment! a lot of good information!
Please make a lot of videos about the 6.2, I have one and dont know what to add to it, so seeing what you do to it will help me out.
Yes, sir, I plan on it!
Whipped super charging your daily 6.2?

So far, I am very happy with it. Only thing I don’t like is the fuel economy.
It's a good lookin work truck, be nice to see it all dressed up down the line.
Yeah I think so thanks for the comment
Excellent purchase
Thank you sir
