I am not a huge fan of the newest F250/F350 bodystyle, personally I like the Dodge or Chev better for looks alone. if you're not stressing on the tow capabilities I think all of them are in the same league as far as reliability etc.
350 versus 250 the only difference is how much weight you can carry in the bed unless you want dual rear wheels.
I've been looking around to, now that the better half always has my truck. I think I'm going to go used and rebuild one though myself. debating between 2 and 4 wheel drive. I don't use 4WD a lot but when you use it you're glad it's there. I don't need a daily driver so taking a few months to put one together wouldn't kill me. although the new ones sure are nice.
guess it depends on if your mech is powerstroke specific or can he work on any diesel. when he "preps" the engine.
otherwise I would have to say I love the trucks overall.
