your thoughts on the F250

[2002au]

There awesome!

We have 4 of them in the family! All 7.3 v8 autos (One is a f350)

Dad has 2, a white space cab 4x4 xlt with a tray and huge tool boxes on it. And still has plenty of room in the tray! Has almost 380,000kms and going just like new. And it does pull a lot of heavy loads.

The other we have here is a moroon red space cab that had a tray, until recently it was not needed for work so we have put the original tub back on, get the scratches and a few small dings fixed. And that'll be for fun has 470,000 from memory.

Feels pretty sweet driving a f250 around on p plates too!!

All in all we choose these because land cruisers, hiluxs etc just weren't big enough. Best change we've made dad reckons. Excellent utes (or truck haha)

99k is a lot. What model is it? Could be a special edition or in exception condition, or overpriced I would think. There was a 06 Harley Davidson F250 with the 6.0L Diesel (imported, wasn't sold here) for sale in Busso here last year for about 95k.

The V8 Cruisers are pretty much in another league. My cousin, the F250 uncle's youngest, bought a new 09 Landcruiser 5.4 V8 ute, reckoned he would've spent the money better on a F250 for the same money.
A Landcruiser GXL 5.4 V8 diesel ute, which as far I know is more basic than a F250 and in many ways less capable, will cost $75,000 new, a lot of money for a basic truck.
