My pickup is and always has been a 2nd vehicle for me. I use it for pulling a boat (and whatever else needs pulled) and going hunting. I bought my current rig brand new. Now it's 11yrs old w/210K on it.
If I were in the market today I'd likely buy another F250, but, I'd get the 7.3L gas motor and the Tremor package then run it 10-15yrs and a whole bunch of miles. Not sure why anyone would give a damn what I paid or why I bought it when I buy it and use it a bunch as my wants/needs require.
