Difficult to believe it only has 54,000 total miles on it.

6.4 liter diesel, not sure on transmission, leather seats, no bedliner, I didn't really get past the price much
All I've ever had was gas burners. I have 3 right now, 97 F150 with a 4.6L V8 with a manual transmission, 2007 5.4L v8, and my wife has a 2014 with the 5.0
A little scared to go diesel, just cause I really don't have a clue about them.

If you dont tow heavy weight stick with gas. Diesels are expensive to maintain.

If you need a diesel for work, or hauling toys, then get one. If it’s something you just “want “, then stay with the gas burners. Most folks never work, or run diesels like they are designed to be. Mine seem to run better after towing equipment trailers loaded down pretty heavy. Some guys buy them and never put a hitch in the receiver. I work mine petty hard.
EVERYTHING about diesels cost more. They don’t nickel and dime you to death, but can easily 3 & 4 thousand dollar you out of the warm fuzzy feeling of ownership. A tank of diesel fuel for that big Mardi Gras float will run you just shy of $100.00. Oil change about $125 or so, unless your the one doing it.
If you decide to get it, search every web site you can to find info on how to maintain it. Don’t skimp on oil & filters. Change them all first thing after you buy it.
Use your head and think long and hard before you mod it. Some upgrades are money well spent. Some are money you’ll never benefit from. Learn the difference.
Between my wife & I, we have three diesel pickups. They are great rides but still not perfect. They don’t make good hunting rigs... too front heavy! Some can’t turn around in a big azz field (joke). But my old Ford does take up some room. Lol
If you buy this one, I hope it’s a good one for you.

A little scared to go diesel, just cause I really don't have a clue about them. You sure don't want a 6.4 Powerstroke to be your first adventure into the diesel world. Those engines are notorious for head gasket problems, oil cooler/egr problems and the worst of all high pressure fuel pump failures that usually takes out the entire engine. If you want a diesel get a 5.9 Cummins or a later 6.7 Powerstroke.

I have a '99 7.3L and a '82 Mercedes 5cyl turbo (in my FJ40). I can and have worked on both. I owned a 2010 6.4L and it was nice, but I got rid of it at the right time thank goodness.
