Tow rig/daily driver

I've been kicking around getting a Supercab Ford. Preferably F450 but those all seem to be crew cabs. So F350 will do. I'm seeing 2017-2020 trucks with 75-100k miles $25-35k. A little newer or a little lower miles and they are $35-45k. (Looking at XL package trucks.) As I'm scrolling I see some left over 2025 with rebates. Then I notice 0% for 60 months. Hmmm. . . 6yr old 100k mile $30k truck at 7-8.5% interest? Or brand spanking new $49-53k at 0% interest? I don't drive a ton. In six years it would have low miles and should still have good value. Like a $2-3k per year loss in value if current trends continue. Not hateful for a brand new truck.

I've seen similar to the one I shared with lifetime power train warranties. Same price point. That's tempting but they don't show 0% on the ones with lifetime warranty. These are cheaper than you can buy a new F150. Make that make sense for me. . .

I never called you back! My bad.

Assuming those rebate trucks are equipped with the 6.8?
Most have the 7.3. saw a couple with 6.8. I'd prefer the 7.3 but I hear the 6.8 is not a major noticeable difference. I've not heard of cam and lifter issues with the 6.8 either. I wouldn't rule one out.
