I’m itching to go buy another super duty. In 2014 I bought an F450. We used it to haul our “Tiltin’ Hilton” around while pulling our sport wave rider boat.

Back in 2014, the F450 was $46k. Today I looked at a new 2026 for $82k. Man, the price seems to have gone way up.

When I ordered out my 2000 F-250 Super Duty turbo diesel Lariat it listed for $34,084.00. At the time I thought that was a bunch, after owning it for 24 years I replaced it with my 2024 Maverick .

How big is your boat? F450 is a commercial truck, the guy who hauled our 37' "only" had an F350

Unless you're hauling all the time, or you can justify it as business expense it makes more sense just to pay someone to haul it around.

85k plus taxes tied up + depreciation + maintenance + insurance + running costs, it just doesn't add up unless you use it every week

24 years! No way!
No rust? No car crash involved? Ever?

You sure you're not missing a "1" in front of that 82?? Where the hell you finding a 450 for 82K. Is it an XL with steelies.......LOL. Every 450 I see is North of 100k. Everything's bigger in TEXAS

$34,084 in January 2000 is equivalent to $65,675 in January of 2026.

A 2026 Super Duty crew cab diesel 4x4 XLT is $70,090, so I wouldn't say it's that far off considering all the additional equipment in the '26 that didn't exist in '00 even on a Lariat.

The F450 was perfect before, and I think I’d like the F450 again. We enjoy going to either the coast or up to the mountains. It’s a couple or three hours either way, depending where we go.

F-450 has the wide-track front axle which is not only more stable in conjunction with the 19.5 commercial tires, but it turns a lot tighter than the F-350.

F-350 has higher payload since it's lighter than the F-450 but they have the same GVWR in pickup format (as opposed to cab and chassis). F-350 also is available as a gasser at retail (F-450 can come with a gasser but it's a fleet-only option) and runs LT tires that are cheaper than the 19.5s.

The highest payload combo I think is an F-350 regular cab DRW gasser 4x2. Something close to 8,000lbs.

Assuming you want the diesel since F450 is not available with a gasser...

Bought our ’22 F350 a ’24 Mav. Great combination for us. Each does what we need them to do very well.

Absolutely! Need the torque to pull those long grades heading up to Asheville.

Today's "modern" diesels are a pricey venture as opposed to yesteryear....

Depending on the size of your RV, you may be OK with an F-350. A commercial Ford dealer like Allstate Ford in Louisville, KY can easily find an F-450 that isn't a Platinum or Limited.

Yes, my '22 F-350 Lariat 6.7L had a $76k window sticker, but I used my X-Plan discount and a $2,500 coupon and it was less than $70k out the door.

My Mavericks big brother is my 2020 Ranger. Not as big a brother as you but still a brother.

Yea way! Had extensive rust repair over the years but no collision, used it to tow our 35ft Montana fifth wheel among other task. Sold it in mechanical sound condition with 121,000 mi. By the way my first fill up of #2 diesel cost me .99 cents a gal.
