I just got an F250 with the Tremor package. Loving it so far. Aside from the price tag it’s great! Like someone above mentioned, very little wiggle room on them. I have good credit and still found the interest rate to be somewhat high even with 60k in trade in. Cars/half ton vehicles quality for favorable interest rates. Not so much on the super duties. Got a Ford credit of $1,000 (I think), so I let them finance the last two, but I barely made it home before I re-financed at a much lower rate.

It's the water pump going out. We'll see what happens with the repair bill.

Keep it. It looks like the water pump is an easy repair.

Ram engine and tranny hard to beat, but the interior (although looks great) always gave me trouble. I owned 2 Dodge trucks and always had issues with electrical. Whether it was a dome light not working, dash lights stopped working on half the dash, sterio stopped lighting up, etc. It was a constant struggle on BOTH trucks. The new ones are light years better. They upgraded the interiors in 2014/2015 and my 2018 was freaking awesome - hardest part of not owning that truck is the controls/seat/radio awesomeness. But I put too many miles on a vehicle to keep driving something that gets 18 mpg. I bought a Camry hybrid for $8k and sold my Ram for $30k and used the other $22k as a down payment on a 2019 Silverado 2500 duramax for towing. So now I've got good towing and good mpg...just not all in one vehicle. What year is that Camry? The wife wanted a retirement car and she's been driving a Mercedes SUV and wanted something smaller. She also wanted one bullet proof and she has driven two Camry's although the last one she bought was in 2000. We test drove a Venza SUV which got amazing mpg for its size at 39 but she also test drove the Camry and immediately changed her mind. The Camry hybrid she chose so far gets in the upper 40's but we have not yet filled the gas tank. On a trip to Ft Worth the other day I ended up getting 49 mpg. 2014. Camry is as close to bulletproof as it gets. Not elite mpg like Nissan or the smaller cars that get 50+ mpg, but still decent. If you get a non-hybrid, get one of the newer ones (I think it's 2017+) that have the 8-speed and get much better mpg. The older non-hybrids get upper 20s, which isn't so great for a non-luxury sedan. So to summarize, I'd either get an older hybrid, or a newer non-hybrid. Either of those are excellent vehicles. If she's used to a Mercedes, I'd get a newer non-hybrid (or a newer hybrid is fine too). Just don't get an older non-hybrid if you're looking for mpg.

The ol Ford sounds sick. 116k on a 2015 F150 with the 5.0 just sounds... Off... Very strange, not a valve slap, just something doesn't sound right. What should I trade her on?
No "get a tundra" gay DaveDave putting his peter in the tailpipe responses. I'm leaning towards a F250 and 7.3 Godzilla engine with the Tremor package.
There ya go. If your current Ford didn't hold up, go buy another one.

They are not easy to find and most dealers only have one or two on their lot.
