Need advice on making an informed yet very fast decision on out of state truck purchase

I’ve been in the market for a used F250 for a few months now. I am looking for a low mileage 2017-2022 F250 with 6.2 gas motor 6 speed trans, 40/20/40 front seat, Elocker, etc... I am looking for a specific truck is where I am going with it. I have came across a few of these trucks while doing nationwide searches. I can usually get 1-2 emails into a sales person before I get a “truck has been sold” response. This happens in the span of 24-36 hours. I believe I’m looking for something highly desirable so I have a lot of competition. For those of you out there who have purchased a popular car or truck from across the country how did you do it? I need some sort of advantage to get the deal done while still doing my diligence with things like financing, 3rd Party PPI, getting solid info from the sales team etc… It seems almost impossible to make all this happen before these trucks get sold as of late!

Looks like they moved the keypad back to where it used to be.

The pictures of my 2027 F-350 show the keypad back where I like it.

368k F250 6.2 Would you buy

As title states would you take the risk on an all original 368k mile f250 6.2. looks well taken care of. Seller wants $5k for it. I know these engines are pretty durable and reliable but kind of seems like a crap shoot to me.

Window tint day

Truck has the Carli steering stabilizer kit but it felt a bit off on the front end, one shock had 0 psi, the other had 20 psi. Recharged both to 90 psi and the front end feels much better.

PSA to those getting new trucks

If you want the securi-code door lock code thing you don’t have to pay ford $500 to install it from factory; you don’t have to pay the dealer $500 for getting the stupid glued on one either, instead you can get $230 of the two genuine parts (the black door applique thing with the right cutout, and the keypad) and install it yourself. The actual connector for the code still is inside your door even if your truck did not come with the keypad. Ford just stuck a dummy connector inside of it. Follow this vid and you should be good

Help, is this truck lifted or not? 03’ F250

Hello I recently acquired this 03’ F250 super duty crew cab 6.0 power stroke diesel. Very happy with it overall. Got it with only 119k on it, and only use it for towing/projects. I’ve only put 500 miles on it and have done the blue spring upgrade. Done fuel filters and oil filter+ oil as well. Just getting used to her.*

I’m looking at upgrading the suspension/lift/sway bars and just trying to understand where I’m starting at. Ultimately I want to add heavy duty rear sway bars and upgrade the front sway bars for towing a camper or a much heavier boat (than pictured) around 7-10k dry/wet and around ~2600 wet in the bed when hauling the truck bed camper, separately of course. Any recommendations? I’ve seen Hellwig and will probably go that route? Are sway bars enough or are air bags also recommended?

Let me be clear, I’m not currently towing anything near the max payload, but would like to.

My main question for this post is about ride height and helping me figure out if this thing is lifted. See pics from ground to fender.

I do have larger 275/70r/18 wheels, which do rub, and I would like to fix, would a lift help them not rub? Do I need to buy spacers or something so they sit a little out? I think the original size is the spare under it that never got changed out and it’s sitting at 265/75r/16.

It measures 39.5” from ground to fender in the front and 41.5” from ground to fender in the rear. Which makes me think there is a two inch lift in the back and not the front? There are “rancho” shock absorbers in the back and it looks like stock in the front?

So am I right I’m assuming it’s a 2” lift on back but not front? The truck doesn’t look stanced out or anything to me, but maybe 2” isn’t enough to tell. Or maybe the wheel well is just different in the back? (But I thought they were pretty standard).

I know I’m not the first one out here to get a truck and have to figure this out. Please let me know what your thoughts are and what cheapish upgrades I should look into.

2024 F250 Black Widow

Hey guys,

I am looking at buying a 2024 f250 lariat black widow with 9k miles.

It's certified pre-owned from a Ford dealership and they are asking $71,399.

It's got fox suspension and a 6" BDS lift. 37s. Thing looks brand new.

I am trading in a 2019 TRD pro Tacoma. We just outgrew it and they are giving us 28k for our trade.

Which leaves us at $43k and $779 for 65 months.

Do you guys think this is a good deal? Anything I should be worried about with the black widow package?

Lmk thanks!

Tremor question

Does the tremor package come leveled from factory, or does it still have the factory rake?

Joined the crew

The opportunity arose and I took it, 2026 Lariat. I never thought I’d say this, but I chose the chrome look… it felt classic. Each to their own though, I appreciate them all.

Inherited Grandfather’s 2004 F250, don’t know what to do

My grandfather recently passed away, and I inherited his 2004 F250. I want this truck to commute everyday, but know they are relatively more high maintenance than a newer truck. I’ve never had anyone to teach me anything about auto mechanics, and therefore know practically nothing about how the truck works. I’ve been starting the engine every week, but don’t really know where to go from there. I’m still young and without a license, so can’t really go anywhere and do anything except to try and maintain it.

Edit: I've found some semi recent service records:

Safe console access (finally)

My 2022 Platinum came with the "gun safe" option. I never used it since I keep a pile of crap in the center console.

I looked into 3D printing, but fear of melting stopped that idea. So being recently retired and oodles of time on my hands, I spent about 2 hours cutting, trimming, staining, etc to make my own tray that I can pull out and finally access the safe! (well, for the wife's purse 🤣)

I added the black felt (double-sided tape) to the console and also the wood base so it doesn't rattle. 👍😎 Simple 1/8" plywood and glue.

What is this trim piece called?

I have an 02 f250 that came from the factory with an np273. I swapped an np271. Anyone know what this trim piece is called and where to get one? I'm assuming there's clips to pop it in/ out... just don't have a need for the old one with the electronic 4x4 selector.
