In 2015 I traded in my 2011 F350 for a used 2014 F150 5.0. I now really miss having a diesel. If I do get a diesel, I don't want to deal with emissions issues, and I love the way the 6.0s sound. I found a low mileage 2005, 6.0 with just over 100k miles on it that looks to be stock and in mint condition. My F150 has just under 40k miles. So I would going from a 3 year old truck to a 12 year old truck with 60k more miles. I do like my 5.0 but I don't love it. Its only got 1372# for payload and I want to lift it, which would probably only leave me with 1000# after the lift, wheels and tires. It also only has a 13500# gcwr leaving me with 6150# for towing if I max my gvwr. Which is fine because I only tow a 3000# single axle enclosed trailer now, but my wife and I are possibly thinking about getting a camper next summer. And now that my diesel is gone, I just miss it. I know the 6.0s require some work to be reliable, and I wouldn't mind putting in the work to do the must upgrades. My truck also isn't my daily driver, so if it does go down, it can sit until I can afford to fix it. So my question is, does anyone regret getting a 6.0? Do you guys think its worth it to get an older, higher mileage truck??
