As long as its had the studs and all that replaced, it's fine, Jeff. Many friends of mine have 6.0s and as long as you fix it the right way, it's perfectly fine.

Do not buy a 4x4 if it will never go off the concrete/asphalt. Get a 2wd. You gain back the power lost from the TC, plus they are typically [numerically] lower geared for better MPG.

I think you should get a regular cab F150 2wd with a 5.0 in it. Easily a Gen 3 Lightning.
Agreed. What pisses me off to no end about those trucks, not only to they not offroad them, but they run those big knobby tires on the street that just pick up and throw rocks. I've gotten a couple of rock chips in the paint from those tools!

And they always drive like douchebags too. Trying to fog people with diesel smoke and trying to race people with their ridiculous oversized farm truck. lol. I don't want to race you, I want you to go away. I don't want to hear or smell your stupid truck! /rant off. lol.

I had one crop dust then cut me off right after I got the car. He was weaving through traffic doing like 80 when traffic was going around 70. I called the cops on him. Don't know of anything ever happened.

Caleb if you want a diesel go with a 6.4 but a job 3 truck. Do a tuner, dpf delete, CAI, egr delete and you're set. The 6.4 can handle serious power without doing studs.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

You're just jealous my 9200 pound truck will do circles against your hybrid.

Can't argue that though.

Or, if you can find one, get 7.3L from '02, early '03. That truck will outlive you. Haha

I'm saying the 7.3 engine will last longer then the truck.
