Just found this sight. I just traded in my 1999 F250 XLT 7.3 PS Ext Cab 4x4 for a 2012 F350 XLT 6.2l gas CC 4x4 3.73 axles. I don't tow anything big anymore (sold my 29ft Hitchhiker II). I now tow a 20' Airstream and/or carry a small Lance camper. When I bought the F250 new in '99 it was great and served me well over the years. Diesel was $.50/gal less than regular and an oil change was $54. Now it is $.50/gal more than regular and an oil change can cost $134. Consequently that is why I made the decision. So far after 3,000 miles I really like the new F350, but it will need a lot more time to know if it is as reliable as my old F250 7.3TD.
