I purchased a new 2017 0 miles gas f2f50. I paid 30k on the dot. if anyone is interested there is 21 of these same 2017 trucks for that discounted price on auto trader. Statesville North Carolina same truck 2018 is 38-40. the only thing I don't like about it are those wheels. aren't they just beautiful? they look like spare tires. anyhow this is a work truck and now I can take my whole family camping without 2 cars. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Good for you. I have a '15 F-250 gas, and it does the job well. I believe you will be quite satisfied.

 

[oops1]

That's a good lookin rig

For a little over $1k you can fix the wheel issue. Eagles are less expensive.

What size is the gas motor in these trucks.I am in the market for a tow vehicle too.

6.2L, impressive numbers:
Ford 6.2L V8- 385 hp @ 5,750 rpm- 430 lb-ft @ 3,800 rpm- 6-speed Auto

Edit: Depending on your favorite brand, here's a good write-up:

I like it too. Don't spend good money messing with the factory wheels unless you want to jinx it. They look just fine to me. Every time I have ever tried something like that, BAM! it got hit by another vehicle within a year.

That's right 6.2 I traded my other 2 door 6.2 in. I pull a 8700 lb travel trailer good. Gas mileage hurts

Boondocka, if you call ask for ms. Wooden. When I got there everything was ready. I was only there 15 min

 

[NE GA Pappy]

what do they estimate the gas mileage to be on that ride?

 

[work2play2]

I now have 400 miles on it the last 2 days. I'm avg 14.8 mpg. Mostly highway due to the 5 hour drive back. Pulling my trailer for work I'll get 10-11. Pulling my camper I'll get 8.5

I honestly don't know how big the tank is. wife filled up today it was on E and said it was 70.00 gas is 2.70 gallon here. so its close to that

That is not too bad for a 379 cu in motor, and the 3.73 should be a good compremise on the rear axle for pulling/mileage too. How does it ride? I heard they have improved the ride on the considerably with the box frame and aluminum body

Here's an example of one similar: XL decor package and XL value package ~ $ 31K advertised.
2017 F-250 Superduty Crew 6.2L XL 4x4

Short wheelbase 6.2L looks like a 34 gallon fuel tank as standard.
2017 F-250 Superduty brochure

More than you wanted to know regarding towing with the new F-250 and the "gasser" 6.2L...
Towing with the 6.2L F-250

I think one of the best values is an XL, with a chrome package and STX appearance package running a 6.2L.

Good looking truck

It rides better then the 2013 250. When I would hit a bump it felt like my teeth would come out of my head. I'm pleased.
