Truck shopping...
1997 Ford F-250 Heavy Duty pickup with slide in camper, 460 cu in engine, 53,000 miles, 5 new 10 ply tires...should I buy it?
John - this classic Ford, built tough truck! Body looks in great condition. Service record? 1997 is the last year Ford mfg the beast 460 CI, 7.5L 245 HP engine. Only driven <200 mi/mo! Very reliable, but avg 14 mpg hwy to 8 mpg to tow camper. Don't know about Ben's 5th wheel. FYI - DFW retail market for outstanding 1997 F250-360 and <100k is in $3-5K range + camper. Best wishes to buy your bug out vehicle - from the great SW Texas desert to visit us ALL!
It won't want to pass a gas station without stopping... but heck yes I would buy it. They make a fifth wheel hitch that hides away under the bed so you could still slide the camper in and out.
Roger that! That 250 is probably right up your ally - it's fairly simple compared to modern trucks - and you're pretty handy with all manner of things others would find difficult...and parts should be available... property taxes on it would be nil... I suspect... are you still livestreaming? for some reason I no longer get notice and I miss it.

If you like 23 year old vehicles.....go for it.
ReplyDeleteIt won't want to pass a gas station without stopping... but heck yes I would buy it. They make a fifth wheel hitch that hides away under the bed so you could still slide the camper in and out.
ReplyDeleteIt looks to be in great shape with low mileage. Depending on the price I would certainly consider it.
ReplyDeleteLooks Nice, If a good price you could probably turn around and resell it pretty quick for a decent profit.
ReplyDeleteNo don’t do it. Truck is too old
ReplyDeletedon't know what happened to the Toyota but not a fan of old vehicles unless you like tinkering... and buying parts.
ReplyDeleteMy Toyota is still running fine with 99,000 miles on it. Just contemplating a local deal for a backup vehicle.
ReplyDeleteThe Ford F-250 is a tough vehicle. Would it do the muddy roads any better than the Toyo?
ReplyDeleteThe point is to stay OFF the roads when they are muddy.

ReplyDeleteI have pretty much decided to pass on the deal. 14 mpg just doesn't make any sense to me.
ReplyDeleteChanged my mind again. I am buying it.
ReplyDeletelet the adventure begin... ;-)
