I've been actually contemplating on trading or swapping out for a 2011 F350 Diesel King Ranch.

They are definitely good trucks, but I've been dreading the idea of not driving my H2.

It's been on my mind the past several weeks....nothing wrong w/my 08 H2.

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!

You'll be back, soon. I sold my 03 H2 and within a year picked up an 05 H2. During that time I always had my 07 f250 gasser and my Viper. After I sold the 05 I bought an 08 SRT8 Cherokee. With all the mods I have on it it's a real giggle machine. I recently purchased an 09 f350 crew cab long box dually diesel. I have yet to put the tuner on it, but its power is already insane. It feels like I can pull the moon closer to earth if a wanted to. Howevery, you will very shortly love to hate your 6.4 power stroke. In two months mine has had an "emergency shut down pull over immediately" and pages of other repairs and tow-ins. I call my 6.4 daully the pet elephant. It's seems like a really good idea to own one until you bring it home and have to live with it. All of your friends and family think your elephant is really cood, but behind the scenes, feeding it and cleaning up its sh#t is a real pain. First oil change with fuel filters was $200. Don't even plan on modding it, a simple air filter change from stock will void the warranty. They will blame everything you try to warranty on improper maintenance. Water seperator and regen alarms constantly going off, etc. I'm alread looking at trading mine in on an 09 H2 and I'll pick up a V10 gasser for towing. I just can't figure out why a straight 6 cat diesel can run 1 million miles, yet a 6.4 is garbage after 100K. Just do some research on the diesel sites and you'll be looking at the NADA trade-in on that King Ranch.
