Powestrokeguy,
Sorry to hear you're having a tough time dealing on a new truck. I bought a new 08 in April of this year and got 9k off sticker price (48k). I live in MN and all the dealers around here offered me "cost" minus the Ford incetive for the month. No dealer gave me any more exept the one i bought it from. In the price range i was looking at, cost meant I got 4k off the MSRP, the dealer i bought it from ate 1k on top of that then Ford's discount for 9k off the truck. That was the absolute best I could do; and i worked on it for 6 mos. It seems to me Ford will not let any additional dealing be done. Don't be too upset if you don't get one, I had the itch and it's my first diesel, but this motor (6.4L) really does eat fuel. You pull 2500 lbs and the mielage goes down by about 2.5 - 3 mpg's. I'm sure your Dura isn't that bad. Keep with what's proven for now.
By the way, if you want a 150 in the next few years, I would personally wait for the diesel motor, it is supposed to get rediculous mieleage, plus the power when you need it. Good luck.

Yeh im planning on the diesel indeed! I dont do gas engines...
Well i had a dealer yesterday say 13k off, but it still wasnt enough for me. O well, i dont care. The dmax is ok, it just frequents the shop and now that its outta warranty im nervous about it day in and day out. So its a wreck. And it gets about what the 6.4's get...sad. But sometimes i can get 20 hwy. others i get 15. Its goofy.
It did however get to tow its heaviest load today and yesterday. A s250 bobcat. total weight was 13k. Pulled it pretty good, (my 04 6.0 pulled this same load with ease tho!) I was happy it did it. I just want it to last one more year then i can sell it to the company. If i still have one...Im going to get taxed to death thanks to our new president

Powerstrokeguy, I just priced a new 09 loaded to the gills. MSRP was $58435, dealer gave me a price of $47000. Thats an 09, so you should be able to get an 08 for about 43-45k. Keep looking, the deals are out there!
