One of my coworkers offered me his truck, which I had been searching for. It’s a Power Stroke Lariat 06—6.0.

I would spend $10,000 all day if it runs well and the inside is in excellent condition.

For a stock version of 6.0? Those engines have a long list of problems. Js

The interior is in pretty good condition and it has only 80k miles.

With 80k miles, 4x4, and stock, if it had a manual transmission, I would purchase it for $15,000. The truck still requires at least $6,000 worth of work done to it right away.

It does not need 6k worth of upgrades. My stock 04 had 350k miles before I sold it and never had a head gasket failure. The deltas were within 5 degrees, and it still had the original turbo, original EGR cooler, no aftermarket coolant filter, and stock TTY head bolts.
If you don’t tune and race a 6.0, and maintain it properly, it can last a long time. I didn’t just get lucky, there is a lot of fear-mongering and misinformation online.

About thirty of them make up our fleet. It requires precisely six thousand worth of shit. Being fortunate is not a measure of average.

Absolutely agree! All the vehicles I have maintained have surpassed 300k miles without any mods, just regular maintenance. I also drive sensibly. Although the 6.0 has some design flaws, I have seen many of them last 300k miles without major issues.

80k miles in a 4x4 It’s incredibly tidy. If it had good maintenance, I would pay $18,000.

Can you handle the fuel costs for driving it? Also, a set of tires is likely to cost at least $3,000.

Last summer, I installed Toyo highway tires on mine, which cost $1,600 to mount and balance. It’s not three thousand.

I can afford it, I was just wondering if my buddy is asking too much for it.

Approximately $2k for six high-quality stock-size tires. I have owned 7.3 cars with fuel that was all high teens unloaded, 6.0 cars are said to tend to be a little better.

I just turned 205k on my 2001 F350 7.3, which I adore. helps me get to work by pulling my 36-foot fifth wheel. Replacing the leaking windshield has been the most expense for me.

I recently paid $15k for a slightly used 2005 Lariat with 175k miles. I somewhat overpaid. Most likely worth $15–$18k.

First, I would visit your mechanic and let them know when you’ll be bringing it in. Since it’s a Ford, there’s a good chance it might have issues, so I’d offer to pay in advance just in case.
