Just having an itch to get a '11 F350 Diesel.
If I do, I'll probably sell mine privately, vs. trading in.
Did you get a good price on trade in?

That is exactly what happened to me...read alot about the 2011 got an itch and stopped by to take a look...really, really nice truck, but at $61,000 I didn't want to buy the first year. My plan is to keep this truck for 1 1/2 - 2 years and trade on the 2011-12.
I bought a 32' travel trailer and had to borrow my buddys GMC Diesel to tow it up to Maine, and thats what got me on the Diesel kick. After driving the Gmc and sitting in the Ford, I liked the Ford alot more.
I do think they gave good money for mine - $22,500 off of 42,500. My new truck is a 2009 f250 4x4 Crewcab King Ranch Diesel,15kmiles, w/Nav,Sync(which is awesome!) and every other option offered. Mine was a 2005 Lux with 58k miles and it was Super Charged, which usually hurts the trade, but my truck was not abused and in really good condition. I thought if I sold it outright I could get around 24-25k but I didn't want some Monkey to blow the tranny and give me an ass-ache about it....just made sense to me.
The Diesel's nice and a beast of power, but the H2 kicked ass w/the supercharger and I'll miss it, but I had to scratch the itch!!!! Those itches sure cost alot of money-LOL!
