With current deals, I've thought about a new ride, but the new 6.4 TT only seems to be getting in the 12s empty, which is unacceptable this day and age.
If you could find a clean Ford 6.0, or an older 7.3, that would be the way to go.
Just my .02

Seems the new 6.4TT is having more than it's share of problems lately....I know of 2 guys that sold theirs in less than a year, poor performance and nothing but problems.......
The old 7.3 was bullet proof, that's why they quit using them I guess.......
In 06 we (as in 3 trucks/trailers) caravanned to VIR for the annual SAAC convention. one 99 model F-250 with the 7.3 and 280,000+ miles at the time, my 05 with less than 10,000 miles on it at the time and an 04 model with about 30,000 miles on it. We all had 65 Mustangs on open trailers, probably within 500 pounds total weight in the 3 trucks/trailers and the 99 model 7.3 took from 1.5 to 2 gallons less fuel each stop we made to fill up and it was over 3,000 miles round trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New ain't always better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
