In the U.S., Ford is the top selling truck or at least it was 8 mo ago when
I bought a new truck and I think that has been a trend for a number of years.

6.0 L engine) for

trucks. He had more Fords in the shop than any other brand.

3-Crew cabs used, seem to be a bit lower in price as their demand used is
less. A lot of them are returned used trucks from a company fleet.

Hi List
We replaced our F(j)ord 250( gas) with a used Dodge Cummins( diesel )
truck to pull the 18' steel GN trailer. The Ford couldn't do the Blue Ridge

gem. I haul

important that I can accelerate easily. I had an old ford f 250 diesel, it was

Nice post. We'll be up for a new truck in the next year or so. The one we
