Decisions, decisions

[Sam]

We have needed another 1/2 ton or larger PU, a Ford to be precise. I have a man who tomorrow is buying my Jeep Grand Cherokee that I got for our daughter some years ago and she is getting my 3/4 ton F-150 4x4. Where we live in the winter you have to have 4x4 or stay home. Mom and I are going tomorrow to look at used PU [refuse to pay the price for a new one] and I have one in particular. A 2011 F-250 4 door with the 6.7 Turbo Diesel 4x4. Best of all the dealer is asking under book and will let my mechanic take a look at it. Anyone own one?

No Ford truck but will bump you up to see if someone had one.

Best of all the dealer is asking under book

Why is a dealer under book price?
Good idea having your mechanic check it over. Diesels can be expensive to repair.
I have always driven 4x4 pickups.
We usually don't get a lot of snow so it's mainly slick roads. Rear-wheel drive trucks get squirrely on ice.

First red flag and maybe accidental but you have a 3/4 ton 1/2 ton pickup? Otherwise the vehicle seems sound if it is at the right price for you.
