Wanted to buy? Suggestions welcome

[Kit3rd]

Me and my husband currently own a 79 Ford plow truck... the motor has never failed... BUT the axle bolts almost rusted off two years ago, and this year the oil dip stick rusted off... Our 99 F150 probably doesn't have the weight to plow. Sooo... mainly we use our truck seldom, only 116,000 on our 99. We need a truck to plow, pull a two horse trailer, boat, snowmobile trailer, and like twice a year a 4 horse trailer... talking 10,000 lbs there no problem. So what to buy... F250 or F350 for sure... but my husband wants a newer truck... not new. Recently Fords have a LOT of problems, what is the most reliable truck I can find what is recommended?

The only probs the newer fords have is the diesels unless you get a 7.3L(99-03)
I have a v10 F250 and it is supposed to be the same as having a diesel. A 5.4L V8 or the 6.8L V10 will do what you need. An F250 and F350 are almost the same, the only difference is how high they sit. So either or will work for you.

PS, i plow with a Bronco, it has plenty of weight, but not enough power ha!
