Should he go for it?

[th3godf4th3r]

so my dad bought a 08 f-250 crew cab with the 8ft bed with the 5.4L two years ago and hates it because it has no power and gets horrible mileage.

recently he has started to look at 30 ft trailers for a hunting cabin

heres a couple questions, does he

buy a 2010 f-350 diesel, (just drove a 2010 f-350 crew cab, 8ft bed king ranch loaded with all goodies yesterday and could get it for around $45k possibly a little less)

wait for the 2011 but wait awhile because he wont be able to afford the payments because of the price of a new lariat ~$60k

: shrug:

we are a little scared about the MPG of the 6.4, we are hearing it averages around 12 mpg which is usually only about 1-2 mpg better than the 5.4L.

if we were to get it, we would add the gryphon of course as well as CAI and possibly exhaust. What mileage would this be looking at? Would it make more sense to just wait and see what the new 2011 is getting mpg wise?

thanks guys
