Trading in my 2012 F-150 Lariat Ecoboost for a F350 7.3L Lariat FX4.  After 140,000+ miles on the F150  I have concern over the reliability of the motor as well as other aspects of the truck (already had to replace the timing chain, front springs, one of the wheels and moon roof arms as normal wear-and-tear....not wanting to have it around when the turbos and valves eventually go).  That and the payload is too low to tow a travel trailer large enough for my family.  Truck is in great shape now though and got a good offer from my dealership when I ordered back in September 2021 that they'll honor when the super duty gets delivered (built 3/16 but still shown as 'in production').

Replacing my 2019 f35p platinum with 28k miles on it. Insurance gave me 10k more than I paid for it in 2019

They considered it totalled? 

You might consider buying it back from the insurance company,  fixing it and selling it again. I wish I could have bought my totalled Probe GT and parted it out but had nowhere to store it nor the time to disassemble/sell.

Current DD for me is a 2017 Ranger 2.2L Diesel. But I'm not selling/trading because it's not in the US. Took some damage in Super Typhoon Odette in December.

Wife's DD is a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid.  Will probably sell that when I get the F-350.

2016 GMC Canyon with about 125k and climbing. Had to settle for a midsize while living in the city for a few years due to space, but have recently moved and have more space. Also I need to be able to put car seats behind me without cramping up front. 
Ordered a F-250 Lariat Tremor.

We just traded our 2015 F150 XLT SuperCrew 3.5L Ecoboost with just a tad over 90k miles.  We bought it used 3 years and 35,000 miles ago and our trade value was $500 less than what we bought it for so no complaints!  Funny how the interiors between that and our new truck are nearly identical.  Although we loved the truck and the relatively decent gas mileage (22-23 mpg highway and 9-10 towing our camper), we love our new F250!

Drove this 1999 F250 Lariat Ext Cab LB with the 7.3 Power Stroke for 22 years. 250 HP and 500 lb ft of torque. Had both a cassette deck AND a single disc CD player. Absolutely loved it.  Never in a wreck, but did go through two automatic transmissions (think those were the weak links). 
 

I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like to drive something with nearly double the HP and over double the torque.  Can’t wait for my new 6.7 Power Stroke in my future F350 Lariat Ult CC SB. 

 

 

My brother in law HAD that exact same truck, 99 F250 Lariat - 7.3, replaced the transmission twice... he is now in his 2022 F350 - 4x4- 6.7 and just smiles..... and smiles...... and smiles....

Just smiles… and smiles… and smiles is right!!!

 

This Truck is a beast!!!  I am towing a 10k trailer (twice the weight I towed with the 7.3), and this truck just asks me “Is that all you got?”  
 

Rarely downshifts below 8th gear when climbing grades of around 6%. Love the engine braking. 

 

Just smiles… and smiles… and smiles.

 

Tell your brother-in-law I like his style.

And I thought I was in style with my 2020 SD/6.7.. It pulls my 17k fifth wheel without a grunt...... He is now looking for a larger trailer since his is only 11,000 !
