    Have you bought it yet? That would make a great tow pig, and leaves you plenty of money to fix it up a bit

    My 6.0 diesel is running perfectly even after 159k miles! It's got plenty of power and torque. I have never had to tow anything extremely heavy but if you do you just have to make sure it does not overheat. The only maintenance I have had to do is replace four injectors and a glow plug but that is normal after that many miles. Great engine if you take good care of it and maintain it.

    depending on the time, southern trucks are preferred. Have been looking at Texas and Florida trucks too, that one is a little beat up and basic but not bad. Definitely keep an eye on it

    Something I've heard for a long time is that if you decide on a Ford, go with an 05 to 07. They had worked most of the bugs out of the 6.0 by then. I'd be leery of a 03 or 04.
